In reply to the Committee's previous comments concerning Article 4, paragraph 1 (liability of the shipowner to provide medical care until the sick or injured seaman has been cured) and Article 8 of the Convention (obligation of the shipowner to safeguard property left on board by sick, injured or deceased persons), the Government states that the study prepared by the subcommittee set up by the Permanent Committee of the Ministry of Shipping for the Evaluation of International Conventions and Recommendations (CECMAL-OIT) and containing recommendations for the amendment and supplementing of sections 691, 723 and 689 of the regulations respecting harbour masters' offices and the merchant marine will again be revised by the Permanent Committee.

The Committee takes note of this information. It hopes that the revision of the study will take place soon and that the amendments in question will be adopted in the near future so as to lay down more precisely the obligations of the shipowner in accordance with the above-mentioned Articles of the Convention. It requests the Government to indicate any progress made in this respect.
