Article 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments on the review of benefits, the Committee notes with interest that in January 1993 a reevaluation of 63 per cent was made. It also notes that the review of benefits was made on the basis of the average wage index which is partly linked to changes in the cost of living. In order to be able to ascertain the real impact of this re-evaluation, the Committee requests the Government to provide in its forthcoming reports the statistical information requested under Article 21 of the Convention, and in the report form adopted by the Governing Body in particular, information on changes for the period covered by the report in the cost-of-living or wages index along with increases to the scale of benefits for permanent incapacity and death.
