Article 1 of the Convention. Establishment of a new employment injury compensation scheme. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the elaboration by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, together with the Central Bank, of a draft concept paper for introducing a system of mandatory social insurance against occupational accidents and diseases is still ongoing. The Government is discussing with the Central Bank the best model, given the national context and the implementation schedule, taking into account the state and the perspectives of the macroeconomic development of the country. The final draft will then be circulated officially in accordance with the national legislation. The Committee also notes that, in comments received on 9 July 2013, the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia (RUEA), referring to the above process, states that, on the occasion of a meeting with the Central Bank, the RUEA made a number of suggestions aimed at amending the concept paper in line with Conventions Nos 17 and 18 before submitting it first to the Tripartite Social Committee and then to the Government. The subsequent discussions convened by the Government were, however, based on a version of the paper which did not take into account the views expressed by the RUEA, which was unacceptable. The RUEA therefore suggested that a duly amended version of the concept paper needed to be communicated to the Tripartite Social Committee for examination and approval before being sent to the Government.
The Committee recalls that, as a party to the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144), Armenia assumes the obligation to organize consultations on questions arising from reports to be submitted to the International Labour Office on the implementation of ratified Conventions under article 22 of the ILO Constitution. It therefore hopes that, in designing the new scheme, the Government will duly consult the social partners as regards the reform and fully take into consideration the requirements of Conventions Nos 17 and 18.
[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2014.]
