Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Hungary (Ratification: 1928)

1. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its latest report. It notes in particular the adoption in 1997 of several laws on social protection, in particular Act LXXX on persons entitled to social security benefits and private pensions, Act LXXXI on pensions insurance and Act LXXXIII on compulsory health insurance. However, the Committee does not have a translation of the abovementioned Act on compulsory health insurance. Hence, it would like the Government to provide additional information on the way effect is given to Articles 6, 9 and 10 of the Convention. It asks it to indicate the relevant legislative provisions in this regard.

2. Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, under section 33 of Act LXXXI on pensions insurance, any person who as a result of an occupational accident has lost at least 67 per cent of his capacity to work receives an invalidity pension. It would like the Government to indicate how, and under which provisions, permanent incapacity of less than 67 per cent is compensated.
