Article 8 of the Convention. List of occupational diseases. The Committee notes that the list of occupational diseases mentioned in the Government’s report has not been received and requests the Government to supply, with its next report, the lists applicable in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Republika Srpska. Please indicate to what extent these lists give effect to the list contained in Schedule I to the Convention (as amended in 1980).

Article 9(2). Eligibility for benefits. Please indicate whether eligibility for benefits could be affected by the non-payment of contributions by the employer and, if so, the existing remedies.

Article 10(1)(b). Dental care. Please indicate the manner in which the provision of dental care in case of employment injury is ensured.

Partial loss of faculty. Please specify the minimum level of partial loss of faculty above which a disability pension is paid and indicate the rate of such pension as compared to the pension paid in case of total loss of faculty.

Article 16. Constant help or attendance of another person. Please explain and provide a copy of the corresponding sections of the law on social protection, protection of civilian war victims and families with children, mentioned in the report as giving effect to this provision of the Convention in the FBiH.

Article 19 or 20. Standards to be complied with by periodical payments. In its previous comments, the Committee had pointed out that, in order to demonstrate compliance with the rates of benefits fixed by the Convention, the Government needs to indicate whether it makes recourse to Article 19 or 20, and then follow the methodology indicated by the report form under the selected Article. The Committee once again hopes that the Government’s next report will contain the information required by the report form under the above provisions with respect to the rates of periodical payments paid in the contingencies listed in Article 6(b), (c) and (d), of the Convention, i.e. temporary incapacity for work, total and partial loss of faculty and loss of support due to the death of the breadwinner.

Article 21. Review of the rate of cash benefits. The Committee also hopes that the Government’s next report will contain the information required by the report form with respect to the manner in which the benefits were reviewed during the reporting period.

Article 24. Participation or association of representatives of the persons protected in the management of social security institutions. Please indicate whether the representatives of the persons protected participate in any form in the management of social security bodies in the different entities of the State.

Application of the Convention in the Republika Srpska. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not supply information on how the Convention is applied in the Republika Srpska and hopes that the next report will contain such information.
