Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its reports on Conventions Nos. 102, 121, 128 and 130. It understands, moreover, that the reforms to the health and pension systems which were envisaged have not been implemented, as the new Government has decided to conduct a global re-examination of the matter. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government’s next report will contain full information on all measures taken or envisaged subsequent to this examination and that, in this context, due account will be taken of the obligations arising from ratification of the Convention, and particularly the following provisions which have been the subject of its comments for many years: Articles 10 and 19 (read in conjunction with Article 5) (scope of the insurance); Article 13 (specification in legislation of the medical care that shall be provided for the persons protected); Article 16, paragraph 1 (duration of medical care); Article 16, paragraphs 2 and 3 (continuation of medical care where a beneficiary ceases to belong to the categories of persons protected); Article 22 (read in conjunction with Article 1(h)) (level of sickness benefit); Article 28, paragraph 2 (suspension of sickness benefit).

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2001.]
