The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.
Repetition
The Committee recalls that, following the adoption of Act No. 06-035 of 28 December 2006 issuing the Social Security Code, Decree No. 09-116 of 27 April 2009 implementing that Act, and Decree No. 09-115 of 27 April 2009 determining the legal and institutional status of the National Social Security Fund, the national law and regulations continue to be based on the principle that equality of treatment is subject, contrary to Article 4(1) of the Convention, to the condition of the residence of foreign nationals in the national territory. The provision of benefits abroad is only possible if it is provided for by a bilateral or multilateral social security agreement, which is contrary to the provisions of Article 5(1) of the Convention. In the Central African Republic, this provision of the Convention requires the provision of old-age benefit and employment injury pensions, without other conditions, to its own nationals and to the nationals of any other Member which has accepted the obligations of the Convention in respect of these benefits. The Committee notes that the Government, in its report, does not indicate any measures adopted or envisaged with a view to amending the national legislation to bring it into conformity with these provisions of the Convention. In light of the information available, the Committee concludes once again that the national legislation continues not to give full effect to the essential provisions of the Convention.The Committee expects that the Government will take the necessary measures to make appropriate amendments to the legislation so as to give full effect to the Convention.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
