Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention, 1925 (No. 18) - Angola (RATIFICATION: 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's statement that the draft Decree on employment injury and occupational diseases - section 14 of which contains a schedule of diseases which takes into account those listed in the Schedule of the Convention - has been submitted for adoption to the People's Assembly, but has not yet been adopted. The Committee therefore hopes that this Decree will be adopted in the near future and that it will contain, in addition to diseases and toxic substances, a list of the corresponding industries and processes, as is the case in Article 2 of the Convention.

The Committee once again requests the Government to transmit the text of the above Decree when it has been adopted.
