Convenio sobre la indemnización por accidentes del trabajo (agricultura), 1921 (núm. 12) - Guinea - Bissau (Ratificación : 1977)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its latest report. It notes that the Government mentions, among the legislation giving effect to the Convention, certain provisions of the Rural Labour Code. However, the Government had indicated in its report received in 1986 that the Rural Labour Code had been repealed by the General Labour Act (No. 2/86) and that the legislation governing compulsory employment accident and occupational disease insurance (Decrees Nos 4/80 and 6/80) applied to agricultural wage earners. In these conditions, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information in its next report on the implementation in practice of Decrees Nos 4/80 and 6/80 above in the agricultural sector. In this respect, it would also be grateful if the Government would provide, if the statistics currently compiled so permit, information on the number of agricultural wage earners covered by compulsory employment accident and occupational disease insurance, the number and nature of the accidents reported, etc.
