- The National Employment Service will, without delay, take all necessary measures to prevent any possibility of publication of job advertisements which, contrary to the law, contain discriminatory conditions for employment, and will inform the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of this recommendation.
