Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 82ª reunión CIT (1995)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the adoption of the new Social Security Act, No. 100 of 1993, which sets up a comprehensive social security system guaranteeing its gradual extension to the whole population including the agricultural sector (section 6 of Act). With particular reference to the employment injury branch, the Committee also notes that Decree No. 1295 of 1994, issued under section 139 of the above-mentioned Act, applies by virtue of section 3 to all enterprises engaged in activities on the national territory and to all workers in both public and private sectors, subject to the exceptions provided for in section 279 of Act No. 100 of 1993. The Committee would be grateful if in its next report the Government would provide detailed information and statistics on the effective extension of the social security scheme in respect of employment injury so as to cover the whole national territory and all agricultural wage-earners coming under the scope of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.]
