The Committee notes the Government’s report, and in particular, the information concerning the application of Article 8 of the Convention. It asks the Government to provide further information on the following points:

Article 7.  The Committee notes that according to the report, as from 1999, Cyprus has begun to carry out an annual labour force survey covering approximately 3,500 households. It further notes that the ILO Bureau of Statistics has also received the results of this first survey in the questionnaires for the 2000 edition of ILO Yearbook of Labour Statistics. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the international standards taken into account when designing the concepts and methodology for the collection and publication of the statistics in this survey (Article 2), on consultation with employers’ and workers’ representative organizations (Article 3), and information on the methods used to compile these statistics (Article 6). It also asks the Government to continue to communicate results of the survey, in accordance with Article 5.

Articles 9 to 11.  The Committee notes that the Government intends to conduct a labour cost survey with reference to the year 2000 and a structure of earnings survey with reference to the year 2002, within the context of harmonization with the European Union. It asks the Government to keep the ILO informed of future developments in these two surveys.

Article 14.  The Committee notes that methodological information relating to statistics on compensated occupational injuries and diseases has been supplied to the ILO. It also notes that the Factory Inspectorate intends to revise the methodology it uses to compile statistics on reported injuries and diseases. The Committee asks that it be kept informed of any progress in this connection.

The Committee notes the recommendation of the ILO advisory mission in 1995, that a single form be used for the purposes both of submitting claims for compensation of occupational injuries and diseases and of reporting occupational injuries and diseases to the Factory Inspectorate, which would lead to a better level of reporting of occupational injuries and diseases. The Committee asks the Government to keep the ILO informed of future developments in this regard.

Regarding the coverage of the statistics, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on any steps it proposes to take to collect, compile and publish statistics of occupational injuries and diseases relating to the self-employed.

Article 15.  The Committee notes that more detailed methodological information about the statistics is expected to be published along with the statistics. It asks that the published information be communicated to the ILO in accordance with Article 6.
