Convenio sobre las pensiones de la gente de mar, 1946 (núm. 71) - Grecia (Ratificación : 1986)

Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In its previous direct request, the Committee asked the Government to amend section 25(2)(a) of Act No. 792 of 1978 which provides for the forfeiture of the right to a pension if the seafarer has been convicted of collaboration with the enemy, so as to bring it into conformity with this provision of the Convention which allows forfeiture or suspension of the right to a pension only if the beneficiary has acted fraudulently. In its reply, the Government indicates that the Committee's comments were taken into account by the Ministry of the Merchant Marine which shall provide for appropriate amendments to the above-mentioned section of Act No. 792, so that full implementation of the Convention is ensured. The Committee notes this information with interest. It once again hopes that the necessary amendments to the legislation will be made shortly and that the Government will provide a copy of them, as soon as they are adopted.
