The Committee takes note of the detailed information supplied by the Government in its first report on the application of the Convention. Noting that the report makes reference to the provisions of the Labour Code of 4 August 2004 (text No. 106) regulating employers’ civil liability to pay compensation to victims and their dependents in case of employment injury, the Committee would like the Government to specify how compensation paid by the employers relates to the disability benefits paid by the social insurance institutions to victims of industrial accidents under section 235 of the Labour Code. The Committee also invites the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied, supervised and enforced, including for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services and, in so far as statistical information is available, particulars of the application of the legislation, including the following points.

• – Scope of application – the total number of workmen, employees and apprentices employed by all enterprises, undertakings and establishments, excluding seamen, fishermen and agricultural workers; the number of such workmen, employees and apprentices covered by the general provisions regarding workmen’s compensation; the number of persons covered by some special scheme in accordance with Article 3(2) of the Convention.
