Seafarers' Pensions Convention, 1946 (No. 71) - Peru (RATIFICATION: 1962)

The Committee notes the communication dated April 1998 submitted by the Union of Crew Members of Maritime Vessels for the Protection of Workers which again refers to the situation of the pensioners of the Peruvian Steamship Company (a limited liability company under liquidation). The Committee notes the Government's response in which it states that, following various judicial and extrajudicial procedures, the decision handed down by the courts shall be enforced subject to the financial means available to the Board of Liquidators of the Peruvian Steamship Company. Under these circumstances, the Committee refers to its observation of 1997 and hopes that the Government will provide a detailed report by 1999 containing the information required by the report form in respect of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of the Convention as well as practical information in respect of their application (point V of the report form), including the manner in which pensions are paid to the former pensioners of the Peruvian Steamship Company (a limited liability company under liquidation).

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1999.]
