Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. List of recognized occupational diseases. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with concern the Government’s indication in its 2013 report that the occupational diseases branch is still not operational in the country, as the implementing regulations determining the new list of occupational diseases, in accordance with section 91 of the Social Security Code, have not yet been adopted. In this regard, section 81 of Decree No. 09-116 of 27 April 2009, on the application of the Social Security Code, specifies that the list of occupational diseases, morbid manifestations and acute and chronic poisoning, as well as schedules listing the corresponding jobs, has to be approved by joint decision of the Minister of Social Security and the Minister of Public Health. The Committee therefore hopes that the Ministries concerned will be in a position to adopt the regulations provided for in the 2006 Social Security Code and Decree No. 09-116 of 2009 in the near future and that, in so doing, they will duly take into consideration the Schedule annexed to the Convention.
