Medical Examination (Fishermen) Convention, 1959 (No. 113) - Cuba (RATIFICATION: 1971)

Articles 3 to 5 of the Convention. Medical examination of fishers. In its previous comment, the Committee requested the Government to adopt the necessary measures to give effect to the following provisions of the Convention: Article 3 (particulars to be included in the medical certificate); Article 4(2) (maximum validity of the medical certificate of one year for young fishers) and Article 5 (possibility of further examination by a medical referee or referees in case of refusal of the medical certificate). While the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report on the application of the Convention in practice, it observes that the Government has not adopted new measures to give effect to the provisions referred to above. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to adopt the necessary measures to give full effect to Articles 3, 4(2) and 5 of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to provide a copy of a model of the medical certificate currently in use.
