With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government in its report concerning the implementation of Act No. 2084 to reform the social security scheme, and the statistics concerning the level and adjustment of the benefits provided under the new legislation. It also notes the statistics on the number of employees protected by the various branches of the general social security scheme in relation to the total number of employees.

Part VI (Employment injury benefit) of the Convention. (a) With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes, from the information supplied by the Government in the context of the European Code of Social Security, that victims of an occupational injury with incapacity of less than 50 per cent are awarded sickness benefit for 720 days. However, according to the Convention, in case of partial loss of earning capacity likely to be permanent, or corresponding loss of faculty, the benefit shall be a periodical payment representing a suitable proportion of that specified for total loss of earning capacity (Article 36, paragraph 2) and shall be granted throughout the contingency (Article 38). The Committee therefore hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to re-establish, for victims of an occupational injury resulting in incapacity of less than 50 per cent, the right to long-term benefit at a reduced rate, as was the case under the previous legislation.

(b) Article 34, paragraph 2. The Government states in its report that the medical care provided by the IKA covers all the care envisaged in this provision of the Convention, with the exception of nursing care at home. The Committee recalls in this respect that the medical care provided to victims of employment injuries shall comprise nursing care at home, in accordance with Article 34, paragraph 2(c). The Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which and the provisions under which effect is given to this provision of the Convention.
