With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest Act No. 18/90, of 27 October 1990, respecting the social security system, section 58 of which provides for the adoption by the Council of Ministers of implementing regulations on compensation for industrial accidents and occupational diseases. It expresses the hope that the above-mentioned regulations will be adopted very shortly and that they will give full effect to the Convention. Furthermore, since Article 1 of the Convention provides for the extension to all agricultural wage-earners the laws and regulations which provide for the compensation of workers for personal injury by accident arising out of or in the course of their employment, the Committee hopes that the new regulations will also cover non-permanent agricultural workers who are excluded for a transitional period by section 85, paragraph 1(a) of Act No. 18/90. It asks the Government to provide detailed information on progress made in this respect and to communicate a copy of the above regulations as soon as they are adopted.
