Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its latest report. It notes in particular the adoption of legislative texts in the field of social security, including Act No. 1/010 of 16 June 1999 reforming the general social security scheme.

The Committee notes that, according to the information provided by the Government and sections 54 of the Social Security Code and 31(1) of the above Legislative Decree, in the event of temporary incapacity for work, the victim of a work-related accident is entitled to a daily benefit as from the 31st day after the date of the accident or from the day following such date in the event of a commuting accident. In this respect, the Committee recalls that Article 6 of the Convention provides that, in case of incapacity, compensation shall be paid not later than as from the fifth day after the accident, whether it be payable by the employer, the accident insurance institution or the sickness insurance institution concerned. In these conditions, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the manner in which the victim is compensated during the 31 first days of incapacity for work and from whom this compensation is due. Please indicate the relevant provisions of the legislation in this respect.

Furthermore, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of Ministerial Ordinance No. 660/356/93 of 9 July 1993 issuing regulations respecting the provision of benefits under the general social security scheme, to which it refers in its report.
