The Committee notes the comments made by the Mauritius Employers’ Federation on the application of the Convention, which were attached to the Government’s report.

For many years, the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to the fact that the Workmen’s Compensation Act (Chapter 220), which remains applicable to certain categories of workers excluded from the application of the National Pensions Act, 1976, does not contain any provisions giving effect to Articles 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 of the Convention. In this connection, the Government indicated in its previous report that the merger was envisaged of the Workmen’s Compensation Act and the National Pensions Act to ensure the full application of the Convention. The Committee notes from the information provided by the Government in its last report that the merger of the above legislation has still not been completed. It hopes that the Government will not fail to take all the necessary measures to proceed in the very near future to the necessary legislative amendments to ensure that all workers covered by the Convention benefit from the guarantees that this instrument provides in the event of occupational accidents.
