Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1989, publiée 76ème session CIT (1989)

Article 29 of the Convention (review of cash benefits currently payable). The Committee has examined the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee in June 1988 and contained in its report, in reply to the 1988 observation concerning the review of old-age pensions and other long-term benefits currently payable. The Committee has also examined the legislation communicated by the Government, in particular Act No. 15.900 of 17 October 1987 which came into force in 1988, under which the various pensions and cash benefits paid by the Bank for Social Welfare are to be reviewed annually in the light of wage index increases.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to implement the above-mentioned Act - thereby giving effect to this provision of the Convention - and that, in all future reports, it will not fail to provide the statistical data required under Article 29 by the report form adopted by the Governing Body.
