Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on the measures taken to amend, in accordance with the assurances already given, section 1 of the Family Benefits Act No. 65-57 of 3 June 1965 so as to guarantee expressly both to nationals of the Central African Republic and to the nationals of any other Member which has accepted the obligations of the Convention for branch (i) (family benefit), and with which there are migratory flows of the type envisaged in this Article of the Convention, the provision of family allowances in respect of children who reside on the territory of any such Member (under conditions and within limits to be agreed upon, where appropriate, by the Members concerned). (Up to the present date the following countries have accepted branch (i) (family benefit): Bolivia, Cape Verde, France, Guinea, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mauritania, Netherlands, Norway, Tunisia, Uruguay, Viet Nam.)

Articles 7 and 8. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to supply information on the progress made towards the adoption and ratification of multilateral social security Conventions at the regional level and towards the conclusion of bilateral social security agreements with other interested States that have ratified Convention No. 118, with a view to the maintenance of the rights as provided by Article 7 of the Convention.
