The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report that the revised legislation on workmen's compensation takes account of the provisions of Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee cannot but reiterate the hope that this legislation will be adopted in the near future and that it will ensure, in accordance with this provision of the Convention, that employment injury compensation for permanent incapacity or death is paid in the form of periodical payments throughout the contingency unless the competent authority is satisfied that a lump-sum payment will be properly utilized. The Committee asks the Government to indicate any progress made in this respect and to provide a copy of the new law as soon as it has been adopted.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
