For several years, the Committee has been raising a number of issues concerning the application of Article 8 (list of occupational diseases), Article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2 (prohibition on conditioning payment of benefit on payment of contribution), Articles 13, 14 and 18 (in conjunction with Articles 19 and 20) (amount of periodical benefits paid in the event of temporary incapacity, permanent incapacity or death of breadwinner), and Article 21 (review of cash benefit currently payable). In light of the fact that the Government's report does not indicate progress, the Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government concerning these issues.
