The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 100 of 23 December 1993 to establish a comprehensive social security system, and Decree No. 1295 of 22 June 1994 on the organization and administration of the general system of occupational risks. The Government indicates in this regard that the benefits provided for by Decree No. 1295 in the event of occupational injury are granted to national workers and foreign workers on the same terms. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report whether, and in what manner, the cash benefits guaranteed by this Decree are paid abroad where injured persons transfer their residence abroad or where the injured person’s dependants reside abroad.
