Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

The Committee notes with regret 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, from the Government’s twenty-fourth report on the Code, that a new structure for occupational injury insurance has been decided upon, according to which, for insurance purposes, occupational diseases are to be covered separately by a private non-profit-making organization to be established, the Employers’ Occupational Injury Insurance, which would be funded by the employers via a statutory contribution. It would like the Government to supply in its next report full particulars on the impact of this measure on the application of each Article of Part VI (Employment injury benefit) of the Convention, together with the text of the relevant legislative provisions.
