Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Denmark (Ratification: 1955)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report on the Convention, as well as in the annual reports on the European Code of Social Security, concerning the application of Articles 36 and 38 of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Committee notes, from the Government's twenty-fourth report on the Code, that a new structure for occupational injury insurance has been decided upon, according to which, for insurance purposes, occupational diseases are to be covered separately by a private non-profit-making organization to be established, the Employers' Occupational Injury Insurance, which would be funded by the employers via a statutory contribution. It would like the Government to supply in its next report full particulars on the impact of this measure on the application of each Article of Part VI (Employment injury benefit) of the Convention, together with the text of the relevant legislative provisions.
