Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

Article 5 of the Convention (in conjunction with Article 10). Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that in practice, in each particular case, the Benefits Committee of the Ecuadorean Social Security Institute (IESS) issues a resolution detailing the name of the beneficiary as well as the amount to be paid. The resolution is sent to the appropriate social security institution which will ensure the payment abroad of old-age, invalidity, and survivors' benefits, as well as workers' compensation in case of accidents, occupational diseases or death of the worker. The Committee notes this information with interest. It hopes that the Government will be able to confirm this practice in the legislation, in conformity with the intention expressed in the report, so as to ensure in law as in practice the full application of these Articles of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1998.]
