Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

The Committee understands that a new Social Security Act has been adopted. It requests the Government to communicate a copy of this Act with its next report.

Furthermore, the Committee hopes that the implementing regulations for this Act in respect of compensation for occupational injuries will be adopted in the near future and that they will give full effect to the provisions of the Convention, in particular, Article 7 (additional compensation for cases where the victims of occupational accidents must have the constant help of another person) which has been the subject of previous comments. Finally, the Committee requests the Government to communicate the regulations of the National Insurance Company (ENSA) which still appears to be the institution responsible for matters concerning occupational hazards.
