Article 5 of the Convention (in conjunction with Article 10). Payment of benefits abroad. Further to its previous comments, the Government indicates that while there has not been much progress in this regard, that it is working to ensure that benefits are provided abroad. In practice, benefits paid to insured persons are deposited in their duly accredited bank accounts, and most banks have branches in other countries, or agreements with banks abroad. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide information on the progress achieved with a view to the adoption of a legislative provision which guarantees that Articles 5 and 10 are applied in both law and practice.
