Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Cabo Verde (Ratification: 1987)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that its previous comments on section 3(3) of Legislative Decree No. 84/78 to establish compulsory insurance for industrial accidents will duly be taken into account in a future revision of the relevant legislation. The Committee therefore hopes that measures will be taken shortly to bring this provision of the legislation into full conformity with Article 2 of the Convention which provides that the exclusion of workers temporarily or intermittantly employed in the territory of one Member on behalf of an undertaking situated in the territory of another Member shall be subject to the conclusion of an agreement between the Members concerned guaranteeing to the workers, who are excluded from the scope of the first Member's legislation, that the legislation of the second Member shall remain applicable to them during the period of their temporary employment in the territory of the first Member. The Committee would be grateful if in its next report the Government would provide information on progress made in this respect.

Point V of the report form. In reply to the request for information on the practical effect given to the Convention, the Government indicates that the particulars requested are not yet available. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to provide this information, including statistics, with its next report.
