The Committee notes with deep regret that for the fourth consecutive year the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its observation of 1999, which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its last report that the Bill to revise the legislation on workers’ compensation has received its first reading in Parliament. It trusts that the Government will take all the necessary measures for the adoption of this Bill so as to give full effect to Article 5 of the Convention, on which the Committee has been commenting since 1966. The Committee recalls that, under this provision of the Convention, the compensation payable in the event of accidents which result in permanent incapacity or death shall be paid in the form of periodical payments throughout the contingency, although these payments may be paid in the form of a lump sum if the competent authority is satisfied that it will be properly utilized. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the new Act as soon as it has been adopted.

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