Application of Convention No. 19 in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to its previous comments, in which it indicates that the payment of work-related injury benefits to insured persons or their dependents who permanently move their residence to another State is made according to the procedures laid down in international treaties or in European Union (EU) regulations. The Committee further notes that the work-related injury benefits due to non-EU nationals are transferred by the State Social Insurance Fund Board to the beneficiary’s personal account in a credit or payment institution, pursuant to sections 66, 68 and 69 of the Regulations on Social Insurance Benefits Related to Accidents at Work and Occupational Diseases (Resolution No. 488 of 21 June 2017). The Committee observes, however, that section 107 of the same Regulations is silent as to the payment of benefits abroad, when injured workers or their dependents, in case of death of the worker due to a work-related injury, move their residence to another country. The Committee thus requests the Government to provide practical information on the manner in which the transfer of benefits abroad is regulated and executed with respect to persons who reside in other Member States parties to the Convention: (a) in the case of national workers and their dependents; and (b) in the case of foreign workers and their dependents. It further requests the Government to supply statistical data, if any, on the payment abroad of work-related injury benefits to workers or to their dependents.
