The legislation or regulations in force should be supplemented by a provision explicitly guaranteeing that, when the victim of an employment injury is a national of a State which has accepted the obligations of the Convention concerning employment injury benefit, dependants who are proved to be actually dependent at the time of the beneficiary’s death, even if they were resident abroad at the time of the beneficiary’s death and continue to reside abroad, shall be entitled to survivors’ benefits.

Article 5 (branch (e)) (Old-age benefit). The national legislation should be supplemented by a provision to ensure the provision of old-age benefit in the case of residence abroad, both to nationals of the Central African Republic and to nationals of any other member State which has accepted the obligations of the Convention for branch (e).

Article 6 (Family benefit), National laws and regulations should explicitly guarantee, both for nationals of the Central African Republic and for those of any other Member which has accepted the obligations of the Convention for branch (i) concerning family benefit, the provision of family benefit for children residing on the territory of such other Member, under conditions and within limits to be agreed upon by the Members concerned.
