List of occupational diseases. Referring to its previous direct request, the Committee notes that while the Government’s report contains information as to the manner in which the prevalence of occupational diseases is followed up in the country, it does not contain the requested detailed comparative analysis demonstrating that the new closed national list of occupational diseases established by Council of Ministers Ordinance No. 105 of 3 June 2009 has the effect of automatically recognizing the occupational origin of all the pathological manifestations produced by the substances set forth in the Schedule included in Article 2 of the Convention whenever these occur in industries and processes listed in that Schedule. Recalling that following a decision of the Constitutional Court of 2008, the Polish legal system on occupational diseases is henceforth constituted of 26 closed items set out by the above Ordinance, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide the abovementioned information with its next report.
