Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction new Emergency Government Ordinance No. 148/2005, regarding the provision of leave and indemnities for social health insurance, which ensures a better application of Articles 4 and 6 of the Convention. Section 23 provides that all insured persons have the right to maternity leave and benefits for a period of 126 calendar days and that the same benefits are granted to women who are not insured on a compulsory basis if they give birth to a child within nine months after termination of entitlement to insurance.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
