The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s statement indicating that it has taken due note of the Committee’s previous comments on the need to comply with the principle of equality of treatment between national workers and foreign workers of any country that has ratified the Convention, and their dependants, without any condition as to residence and irrespective of any bilateral agreements that may have been concluded. It also notes that the Government undertakes to send to the ILO, as soon as available, the statistics requested earlier on the number and nationality of all the foreign workers employed on Senegalese territory. The Committee hopes that the Government will very soon be able to provide this information. It also trusts that the Government will take this opportunity to provide the statistics requested earlier on the transfer of employment injury benefits by the Social Security Fund, in accordance with section 94(3) of the Social Security Code, to nationals of Members that have ratified the Convention, and their dependants, in the event of their residence abroad, with an indication of the nationality of the beneficiaries and the amount of the benefits transferred.
