Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2001, Publicación: 90ª reunión CIT (2002)

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its last report. It again notes that the information covers only payments in respect of beneficiaries residing in France and Mauritania (countries with which Senegal has concluded bilateral social security agreements) but contains no data regarding payments made in any other countries bound by Convention No. 19. The Committee recalls that this provision of the Convention requires equal treatment to be guaranteed to foreign workers of a country that has ratified the Convention and to their dependants without any condition of residence and whether or not bilateral or reciprocity agreements have been concluded. In these circumstances, the Committee hopes that the Government will not fail in its next report to provide statistical information on any other cases in which, in accordance with section 94(3) of the Social Security Code, the Social Security Fund is providing industrial accident benefits to foreign workers who are nationals of a country which has ratified the Convention or to their dependants, when they live abroad, indicating the number and nationality of the beneficiaries and the value of the benefits transferred. The Committee asks the Government once again to provide statistics on the number and nationality of foreign workers employed in Senegal.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2003.]
