The Committee notes from the Government's report that no progress has been made in the application of the Convention. It therefore has to repeat its previous comment, which read as follows:

The Committee notes that by virtue of section 142 of Act No. 212/AN/82 to issue the Maritime Code, seafarers come under a special scheme for retirement benefit that is yet to be set up. It also notes that in the drafting of the regulations to be issued under the new Code the responsible services will take account of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the necessary measures in this connection will be taken in the near future and asks the Government to report any progress realised.
