The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. With regard to the objective appraisal of jobs in order to ensure equality of remuneration for work of equal value in cases in which the nature of the jobs differs, the Committee notes that the Government recognizes the need for such an evaluation and envisages availing itself of the technical assistance of the Inter-American Centre for Labour Administration (CIAT), particularly with regard to determining methods for the objective appraisal of jobs which are directly under the control of the State. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to avail itself of this assistance and that it will inform it in the near future of the progress achieved in this field.

2. Furthermore, the Committee recalls that it has not been provided with sufficient information to enable it to assess the manner in which the principle of equal remuneration as set out in the legislation and regulations is applied in practice. It would therefore be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report:

(i) the wage scales applicable in the public service, indicating the distribution of men and women at the various levels;

(ii) the text of collective or other agreements which establish wage levels other than minimum wages in the various sectors of the economy and, if possible, the percentage of women covered by these collective agreements and the distribution of men and women at the various levels;

(iii) statistics on wage rates and average earnings for men and women, if possible by occupation, branch of activity, seniority and level of qualifications, as well as information on the corresponding percentage of women.

3. Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures which have been taken to supervise the application of the provisions which govern equal wages and, in particular, on the activities of the Labour Directorate (violations detected and penalties imposed), as well as any rulings by the labour tribunals.
