Article 5 of the Convention (provision of benefits abroad). Further to its previous comments concerning the provision of benefits due to Mauritanian nationals who left Mauritania following the events of 1989, the Government indicates in its report that the National Social Security Fund insures the payment of benefit to Mauritanian nationals who left Mauritania in 1989, and it has already proceeded to regularize the claims of 10 pensioners and 13 other beneficiaries. The Government also states that Senegalese nationals entitled to benefits from the National Social Security Fund have been paid in accordance with Circular No. 120/DG of 28 November 1993 which authorizes the payment of arrears dating from April 1989.

The Committee notes this information with interest. It would like the Government to indicate whether there are other Mauritanian nationals entitled to benefit under the branches accepted by Mauritania (invalidity, old age, survivors' and work injury) who are still waiting to receive the benefit. It also requests further information on whether payments are made in periodic form.

Articles 7 and 8. The Committee notes that the Government's report does not provide any information on the provisions made concerning protection of the rights in the course of acquisition of Mauritanian nationals who had to leave the country after the events of 1989. It would appreciate receiving information on the measures taken in this respect (in particular as to old-age pensions).

The Committee also requests detailed information on the practical application of the Convention, in accordance with point V of the report form, including statistics of the amount of the benefits transferred to beneficiaries who reside outside the country.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1998.]
