Convenio sobre las enfermedades profesionales, 1925 (núm. 18) - Guinea - Bissau (Ratificación : 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that, for the second year in succession, the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

With reference to its previous observation, the Committee notes with regret from the information supplied by the Government that no progress has been made in completing the existing legislation by including a list of occupational diseases, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention. It recalls that in its previous report the Government stated its intention of resolving this question in the near future. In view of the importance of the question, the Committee is bound once again to insist that the void which it noted in the legislation be filled by the adoption in the very near future of a list of occupational diseases including, at least, those enumerated in the schedule appended to Article 2 of the Convention which shall be recognized as occupational diseases when they are contracted in the circumstances specified in the above schedule.

END OF REPETITION

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
