Article 2 of the Convention. Coverage of apprentices and casual and temporary workers against the risk of employment injury. The Committee notes from the information provided by the Government that the purpose of Act No. 06/2003 of 22 March 2003 was to amend and supplement certain provisions of the Legislative Decree of 22 August 1974 organizing social security. Following this amendment, section 2 of the above Legislative Decree provides, as it did previously, for the need to determine by ministerial order the arrangements under which apprentices and casual and temporary workers may benefit from the social security scheme in relation, among other matters, to compensation for employment injury. This provision also now indicates that the above order shall be made following the proposals put forward in this respect by the Executive Board of the Social Fund (CACS). In this respect, the Government indicates that it has taken due note of the comments that the Committee has been making for several years requesting it to take the necessary measures to extend protection against employment injury to apprentices and casual and temporary workers, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention. It adds that it will make efforts to adopt the text concerned. The Committee notes this information and would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report whether, since 2003, the CACS has undertaken studies or made firm proposals as a basis for the extension of the social security scheme to apprentices and casual workers, or whether such studies or proposals are planned. It expresses the firm hope that in its next report the Government will be in a position to indicate the tangible progress achieved in the extension of the national legislation respecting employment injury to the above categories of workers.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2008.]
