Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

Convenio sobre la igualdad de trato (accidentes del trabajo), 1925 (núm. 19) - Cabo Verde (Ratificación : 1987)

The Committee notes the Government's first report and wishes to draw attention to the following points.

1. Article 2 of the Convention. Under the terms of section 3(3) of Legislative Decree No. 84/78, foreign workers who are temporarily in Cape Verde in the service of a foreign enterprise or international organisation and who, as such, are entitled to compensation for industrial accidents, are excluded from the scope of the Decree. This provision is not entirely in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention, which provides that the exclusion of workers temporarily or intermittently employed in the territory of one Member on behalf of an undertaking situated in the territory of another Member shall be subject to the conclusion of an agreement between the Members concerned to guarantee to the workers, who are excluded from the scope of the first Member's legislation, that the legislation of the second Member remains applicable during the period of their temporary employment. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures that it is proposing to take to bring its legislation into full conformity with the Convention on this point.

2. Please also supply information on the application of the Convention in practice, and in particular statistics, as requested under point V of the report form adopted by the Governing Body of the ILO on this Convention.
