Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

The Committee notes 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:

1. Part VII (Family benefits), Article 44. In its earlier comments, the Committee requested the Government to specify whether the total value of the benefits granted to the persons protected (i.e. the total amount of the periodical cash payments provided to families in respect of dependent children, as well as the costs of supplying food or clothing in the various rural centres) represented, in accordance with Article 44: (a) either 3 per cent of the wage of an ordinary adult male labourer, as determined in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 66, multiplied by the total number of children of persons protected; (b) or 1.5 per cent of the said wage, multiplied by the total number of children of all residents. The Committee expresses once again the hope that the Government will not fail to communicate the statistical data requested earlier.

2. Part XIII (Common provisions), Article 69(f) (in conjunction with Article 38). Please supply copies of cases of practical application of section 199(b) of Act No. 6727 of 1982, with regard to the risks created by drunkenness and drug use.

3.(a) The Committee has noted the information supplied by the Government, particularly that relating to Part XIV (Miscellaneous provisions), Article 76, paragraph 1(b)(ii), of the Convention (in conjunction with Articles 28, 56 and 62) with regard to the amount of old-age, invalidity and survivors' benefit.

It again asks the Government to be good enough to supply the information required under Article 65 (titles I, II, IV and V) or 66 (titles I, II, IV and V) of the report form adopted by the Governing Body with reference to employment injury benefit (Part VI of the Convention).

(b) The Committee asks the Government to be good enough to state whether a maximum has been prescribed for the amount of maternity benefit or for the earnings to be taken into account in the calculation of such benefit (Part VIII of the Convention).
