Direct Request

DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

In the direct requests of 2002 and 2008, the Committee requested that the Government supply copies of Acts Nos 5, 12, 13 and 14 of 2001 transposing into national legislation special agreements concluded with CARICOM countries, countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and Canada, in order to facilitate reciprocity. The Committee appreciates the Government’s statement of its intention to do so, expressed in its latest report of 2011. However, as the report does not specify when the Government intends to send in copies of the said legislation, the Committee requests that it will do so in the very near future. The Committee also requests the Government to supply, in accordance with Part V of the report form, statistical information on how foreign workers and their dependants benefit from compensation in case of occupational accidents (e.g. the number of accidents involving foreign workers and the amounts of compensation paid to them, etc.).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2012.]
