Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

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

Article 21 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement that, in accordance with sections 28 and 34 of the Social Security Act, No. 13 of 1980, the level of cash benefits currently payable for long-term benefits is reviewed following substantial changes in the cost of living or wage levels. It notes, however, that the Government's report does not contain the statistics requested in order to assess the manner in which this Article of the Convention is applied in practice. It therefore once again requests the Government to supply the statistics called for in the report form under this Article of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
