Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It notes, however, the information supplied by the Government in its fifth report on the application of the European Code of Social Security with regard, in particular, to Article 44 of Part VII of that instrument (Value of family benefit).

Furthermore, the Committee hopes that a detailed report will be supplied for examination at its next session and that it will contain, in particular, information on the following point.

Part XI (Standards to be complied with by periodical payments), Article 65, in relation to the following Parts of the Convention: Part V (Old-age benefit), Article 28; Part VIII (Maternity benefit), Article 50; and Part IX (Invalidity benefit), Article 56. The Committee notes the statistical information supplied by the Government in its fifth report on the application of the European Code of Social Security. It notes, however, that the Government does not state whether, for employees covered by the general scheme, the amount of old-age, maternity and invalidity benefit (for invalids of the second category) corresponds, for a standard beneficiary, to the percentages required by the Convention, when the previous earnings of the beneficiary are equal to the wage of a skilled manual male employee, in accordance with the provisions of Article 65, paragraph 3, of the Convention (the wage taken into account for the calculation of benefits is subject to a ceiling). The Committee is bound once again to hope that the Government will be able to compile the statistical data required in relation to the above provisions of the Convention in the manner set out in the report form adopted by the Governing Body by reporting, in particular, the wage of a skilled manual male employee determined in accordance with Article 65, paragraph 6 or 7. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the maximum wage taken into account for the calculation of the above benefits.
