Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2006, Publicación: 96ª reunión CIT (2007)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Part VI (Employment injury benefit), Article 34, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the report indicates that nursing care at home is provided by the Social Insurance Institute (IKA) by virtue of articles 10 and 11 of the Sickness Regulation. The Committee notes this information and would like to receive a copy of the said Regulation together, if possible, with an English or French translation of the abovementioned articles.

Articles 36, paragraph 2, and 38. With reference to its previous comments which it has been making for many years, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the question of re-establishing the right to long-term benefits at a reduced rate for victims of employment injury with incapacity of less than 50 per cent, which was provided for in the previous legislation, shall be examined by the competent services of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, notwithstanding the large financial costs for the IKA. It hopes that this examination will be carried out in the near future and that the Government will be able to adopt measures necessary to give full effect to the abovementioned provisions of the Convention.
