I. 1. Part I (General provisions), Article 6 of the Convention (in conjunction with Articles 10, 11, 17, 18, 23 and 24). With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the text of the by-laws of the supplementary social security fund for the construction industry. The Committee requests the Government to supply the regulations respecting cash benefits, to which reference is made in section V of the above by-laws. It also requests it to supply the following texts, which were referred to in its 1991 report: (a) Presidential Decree No. 10191, of 14 April 1972, respecting the establishment of the Supplementary Fund for the Public Administration; (b) Presidential Decree No. 10972, of 11 July 1973, respecting the Supplementary Fund for Commerce; and (c) Presidential Decree No. 11227, of 13 December 1973, respecting the payment of benefits and their financing. Please also supply the text of Act No. 1141 of 23 February 1990.

2. Part V (Standards to be complied with by periodical payments), Articles 26 and 27 (in conjunction with Articles 10, 17 and 23). With reference to its previous comments concerning the level of periodical benefits covered by Articles 10, 17 and 23 of the Convention, the Committee notes that the Government once again refers to the actuarial mathematical study on the basic pensions scheme of 1991-95, which was adopted by the Bolivian Social Security Institute. In view of the fact that the information contained in the actuarial mathematical study does not permit it to assess whether the levels set out in the Convention are reached for invalidity, old-age and survivors' benefits, the Committee once again hopes that the Government will be able to supply in the near future the information required by the report form adopted by the Governing Body under either Article 26 or Article 27, according to which of these Articles the Government has decided to use.

3. Article 29. The Committee once again requests the Government to supply in its next report the information requested in the report form adopted by the Governing Body concerning the adjustment of basic pensions under this provision of the Convention.

II. 1. The Committee once again requests the Government to supply information on the structural reforms which it announced in a previous report, and on any progress achieved in the adoption of the draft Social Security Code.

2. The Committee also requests the Government to supply the text of Decree No. 20991, of 1 August 1985, and of Presidential Decree No. 22407 of 11 January 1990.
