In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s promise to send in the near future full replies and information concerning the matters which it raised with regard to the application of Article 2, paragraph 6, and Articles 7, 8, 10 and 11 of the Convention, and the text of Act No. 112 of 1980 concerning workers in occasional employment, and it therefore hoped that this information and the text of the legislation would be sent by the Government for examination. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain the requested information and repeats its request to provide this information in its next report.

Article 3, paragraph 1. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s statement that foreign workers who are nationals of a country which has ratified the Convention must nevertheless comply with the condition respecting the duration of their contract to benefit from the application of the Social Insurance Act. In view of the fact that this condition is not in conformity with the principle of equality of treatment between nationals of Egypt and nationals of the States which have ratified the Convention, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the measures taken to ensure equality of treatment also in the case of foreign workers engaged under a contract of employment of less than one year, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In this regard, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the ministry concerned has been informed of the Committee’s comments with a view to considering the compatibility of the Social Insurance Act (No. 79 of 1979) with the provisions of the Convention on this subject when it is revised. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to give full effect to the Convention.
