Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Senegal (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes the statistical information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes that this information only covers payments made in respect of beneficiaries residing in France, Mali and Mauritania (countries with which Senegal has also concluded bilateral social security agreements) but does not contain data in regard to payments made in any other countries bound by the Convention. Furthermore, the statistics in question show that no transfer has been made and no reimbursement requested since April 1990. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the reasons for this suspension of the payment of benefits abroad. It also hopes that the Government will not fail to supply statistical information on any other cases in which, in accordance with section 94(3) of Act No. 73-37 of 31 July 1973 embodying the Social Security Code, the Social Security Fund is providing industrial accident benefits to foreign workers who are nationals of a country which has ratified the Convention or to their dependants, when they live abroad, with an indication of the number and nationality of the beneficiaries, the value of the benefits transferred and the periods at which they are paid.
