1. Article 21 of the Convention (Review of long-term benefits). In reply to the Committee's earlier comments, the Government indicates that considerable variations in adjustment of benefits have taken place from year to year, depending on the financial situation of the employment injury branch, and that information relative to earnings and adjustments to benefits will be supplied by the Ministry of Labour and the Social Security Fund in the next report from the Government. In this connection, the Committee recalls that this provision of the Convention 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. It therefore hopes that the Government will not fail to include in its next report statistical information on trends in the cost-of-living index and the index of earnings, and on the adjustment of benefits (average benefit per beneficiary and benefit per standard beneficiary) during the same period.

2. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement that statistical information regarding the scope and level of benefits requested in the report form on the Convention, adopted by the Governing Body under Articles 4 and 19 or 20, will be supplied in the Government's next report.

[The Government is asked to provide a report in 2000.]
