Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

1. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its reports, to the effect that the Committee's comments will be taken into account in the drafting of the new Labour Code, for which the advice of the ILO was sought. The Committee hopes that the above Code will be adopted shortly and will give effect to the provisions of this Convention, in particular by repealing section 103 of the Labour Code now in force (which allows judges to reduce the compensation due to workers sustaining occupational injury in small agricultural enterprises).

2. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the extension to all agricultural workers the benefits provided for in social security laws and regulations which are designed to compensate workers for personal injury by accident arising out of or in the course of their employment, in accordance with Article 1 of the Convention.
