The Committee notes the statistical information supplied by the Government in its reports concerning the benefits awarded in respect of industrial accidents and occupational diseases, and on the application of the Convention for the period 1984-88.

Articles 5 and 7 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the draft Bill to amend sections 306 and 311 of the Labour Code has not yet been adopted. The Government describes the serious economic problems affecting Panama, which have seriously affected the financial situation of the Social Insurance Fund, and indicates that the Fund will undertake an actuarial examination of the consequences involved in changes and readjustments in its financial situation. The Committee notes this information with interest and, while it understands the above considerations, hopes that the planned actuarial study will result in the subsequent adoption of the Bill in order to give full effect to these provisions of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on any progress achieved in this respect.
