In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government recalls that although agricultural workers are not covered by a special occupational accident compensation scheme or formally protected by social security legislation, no distinction is made, in practice, between agricultural and other workers. The Government none the less adds that it has taken due note of the proposal that it should request technical assistance from the International Labour Office on this matter and that a formal request should shortly be submitted to the Office.

The Committee takes note of this information. It trusts that, with the Office's assistance and in accordance with the assurances it has been giving for over ten years, the Government will be able to take the necessary measures to bring the national legislation into line with the Convention at an early date by explicitly extending the scope of the Legislative Decree of 22 August 1974 (organizing social security) to all agricultural workers, including day workers and temporary workers.
