Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Articles 5 and 7 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the draft Bill to amend sections 306 and 311 of the Labour Code has not yet been adopted. The Government describes the serious economic problems affecting Panama, which have seriously affected the financial situation of the Social Insurance Fund, and indicates that the Fund will undertake an actuarial examination of the consequences involved in changes and readjustments in its financial situation. The Committee notes this information with interest and, while it understands the above considerations, hopes that the planned actuarial study will result in the subsequent adoption of the Bill in order to give full effect to these provisions of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on any progress achieved in this respect.
