Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Maternity Protection Convention (Revised), 1952 (No. 103) - Spain (Ratification: 1965)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and the comments made by the General Union of Workers (UGT) which were transmitted by the Government with its report.

With regard to the application of Article 6 of the Convention, the Committee notes the judicial rulings supplied by the Government. It notes that, with the exception of one case concerning the closure of an enterprise, these rulings do not deal specifically with the dismissal of women during their maternity leave. In view of the fact that, according to the Government, this provision of the Convention is applied by case law, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply copies of judicial rulings or administrative decisions containing questions of principle relating to the illegal nature of dismissal during the period of maternity leave.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would supply detailed information in its next report in reply to the points raised in the comments made by the General Union of Workers.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1993.]
