The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in fully replying to its previous direct request by confirming that employees in micro-enterprises benefit from mandatory social insurance in conformity with Article 2 of the Convention, and indicating that additional compensation cannot be refused because of the financial situation of the injured worker in conformity with Article 7 of the Convention.

Conclusions and recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism. The Committee notes that, at its 328th Session in October 2016, the Governing Body of the ILO adopted the conclusions and recommendations formulated by the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group (SRM TWG), recalling that Conventions Nos 12, 17 and 18 to which Latvia is party are outdated and charging the Office with follow-up work aimed at encouraging States party only to these Conventions to ratify the Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 [Schedule I amended in 1980] (No. 12), and/or the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), and accept, inter alia, its Part VI, as these represent the most up-to-date instruments in this subject area. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regard.
