With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, according to the information provided by the Government, the regulations respecting employment injury compensation, envisaged under section 58 of Act No. 18/90 on the social insurance system, have not yet been adopted, but that they have been submitted to the Council of Ministers for examination. It requests the Government to provide detailed information in its next report on any progress achieved in the adoption of the above regulations. It hopes that, in accordance with Article 1 of the Convention, these regulations will ensure that all agricultural wage-earners are covered by laws and regulations which provide for the compensation of workers for employment accidents, including non-permanent agricultural wage-earners, who are temporarily excluded from the social insurance system under section 85(1)(a) of Act No. 18/90. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the above regulations as soon as they have been adopted.
