Articles 5 and 7 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. The Government states that the draft Bill to amend sections 306 and 311 of the Labour Code is still under examination, but that the financial situation of the Social Insurance Fund, although it has improved slightly, does not yet permit the implementation of the changes contained in the draft text. In these circumstances, the Committee is bound to hope once again that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary measures in the near future to give full effect in law and practice to these Articles of the Convention which provide, respectively, for the payment of compensation in the form of periodical payments without limit of time in the even of permanent incapacity or death, as well as the provision of additional compensation in cases where the injury results in the injured workman requiring the constant help of another person. It requests the Government to indicate any progress achieved in this respect in its next report. Labour Code
