Reform of the social security system. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the Government’s indication that in November 2012 it held the 30th ordinary session of the National Labour Council, which dealt with social security reform and culminated in the validation of two Bills by the tripartite constituents, namely the Bill issuing the Social Security Code and the Bill governing the fundamental principles of the mutual insurance system. The Bills were adopted by the Council of Ministers and are now before Parliament for discussion. The draft Code, which has been examined by the Office, appears to give effect to most of the provisions accepted by the Government. The Committee also notes the Government’s request for technical assistance to be provided by the Office to the Ministry of Social Welfare and the National Social Security Institute with a view to improving the application of the Convention, and it hopes that such assistance will be provided in the context of implementation of the new Social Security Code. The Committee hopes that the abovementioned Bills will be adopted in the near future and requests the Government to supply a copy of the Social Security Code, once it has been adopted.
