Article 33 in relation with Article 26 of the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information, as requested in paragraph 2 of Article 33, on the position of its law and practice as regards the temporary derogation from the provisions of Article 26 as well as on any progress made towards complete application of this Article of the Convention. In particular, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether section 15 of Act No. 54 of 1956 concerning employees' sickness insurance and section 8 of Act No. 103 of 1964 concerning the social security of members of agricultural co-operatives are still in force. Under these provisions, the duration of payment of sickness benefits can be reduced to less than one year, account being taken of the duration of payment of such benefits on a previous occasion.
