Work is in progress to harmonize the draft. The Government also indicates that it is still examining the possibility of ratifying the Employment Promotion and Protection against Unemployment Convention, 1988 (No. 168). The Committee notes that the parties to the General Collective Agreement for 2012–13 have initiated the ratification process with respect to the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), and the Invalidity, Old-Age and Survivors’ Benefits Convention, 1967 (No. 128).
