Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - 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 matter raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the draft Decree which was prepared to introduce a compulsory insurance scheme against occupational injuries, to which it referred in its previous report, has been adopted and, if so, to transmit the text of the Decree. It hopes that this Decree will contain provisions which correspond to those of the Convention, and in particular to Article 7 of the Convention, which has been the subject of previous comments.

The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the effect given to the Convention in practice, and on the rules and operation of the National Insurance Company (ENSA) which, according to the Government's statements, continues at present to cover occupational injuries.
