The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that the draft text of the Social Security Code which was revised with the technical assistance of the ILO, will give full effect to the provisions of the Convention when it is adopted. The Committee takes due note of this information. It hopes that it will be possible to adopt in the near future the above text of the Social Security Code and that, when adopted, it will give full effect to Article 5 of the Convention, under which the provision of old-age benefits, survivors' benefits and death grants, and employment injury pensions must be guaranteed in the case of residence abroad, irrespective of the country of residence and even in the absence of agreement with such country, both to nationals of Guinea as also to nationals of any other State which has accepted the obligations of the Convention in respect of the corresponding branch. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the progress made in this respect. Article 6. The Committee hopes that the above draft text of the Social Security Code will also make it possible to give effect to Article 6, under which any State which has accepted the obligations of the Convention in respect of "family benefit" (branch (i)) must guarantee the grant of family allowances both to its own nationals and to the nationals of any other State which has accepted the obligations of the Convention for that branch, as well as to refugees and stateless persons, in respect of children who reside on the territory of any such State, under conditions and within limits to be agreed upon by the States concerned.

TEXT The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future. It draws the Government's attention to the availability of technical assistance from the Office.
