1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its 1991 direct request, which read as follows:

Article 21 of the Convention (review of long-term benefits). The Committee noted from the Government's reply that there was no readjustment of benefits between 1985 and 1989. It recalled the importance it attaches in the present economic context to the proper application of this provision of the Convention, which specifies that the amount of long-term benefits paid in the event of industrial injury shall be reviewed following substantial changes in the general levels of earnings where these result from substantial changes in the cost of living. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on the measures taken in this respect as well as the statistical data requested in the report form adopted by the Governing Body on trends in the cost of living index and the index of earnings during the period covered by the report, and on the adjustment of benefits (average benefit per beneficiary and benefit per standard beneficiary) during the same period.

2. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply statistical information in its next report on the scope and level of benefits, as requested in the report form adopted by the Governing Body (Article 4 and Articles 19 or 20).
