Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention (Revised), 1934 (No. 42) - French Polynesia

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee has noted with satisfaction the adoption of Order No. 826/CM of 6 August 1990 enumerating the morbid manifestations regarded as occupational diseases in French Polynesia. This Order, which repeals Order No. 30/IT of 9 January 1959, makes it possible to bring the territorial regulations into closer conformity with the Convention as regards compensation for certain occupational diseases enumerated in the schedule annexed thereto.

However, since the schedules enumerating occupational diseases which are annexed to Order No. 826/CM of 6 August 1990 have the same characteristics as the schedules prescribed in sections L.461-2 and R.461-3 of the Social Security Code of metropolitan France, the Committee also asks the Government to refer to the observation it is addressing to France with regard to the application of Convention No. 42.
