White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the information given in the Government's report in which it indicates that the system of statistics used in Mauritania, and in particular the system used by the National Social Security Fund, does not include data on morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning, as required in the report form in relation to Article 7 of the Convention, but that it undertakes to provide such information as soon as it becomes available. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard.
