The Committee notes the information and legislation sent by the Government. It requests the Government to supply additional information in its next report on the following points.

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. (a) The Committee requests the Government to indicate to what extent and under what provisions a worker, employed under a temporary or permanent contract, who suffers injury due to an industrial accident and who subsequently moves his residence to another country, may receive payment of the compensation in that country. Please state whether such provisions, if any, apply both to Estonian nationals and to foreign nationals of a State which has ratified the Convention.

(b) Please indicate whether, in the event of the death of a worker due to an industrial accident, the legislation allows the transfer of the benefits due to the worker's dependants in cases where the beneficiary lives abroad, regardless of whether the latter is Estonian or a national of a country which has ratified the Convention.

(c) Finally, the Committee asks the Government to supply information on any social security agreement or arrangement concerning compensation for industrial accidents concluded with other member States that have ratified the Convention.
