With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the report provided by the Government in October 2006 according to which, since 1 January 2006, the Government has made a 15 per cent increase for all civil and military pensioners and has set the minimum wage (SMIG) at 21,000 UM since July 2006, which has resulted in an increase in minimum pension rates. As these increases do not appear to be reflected in the calculations of the level of benefits made in the report, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report which benefits are covered by the increase, their new minimum amounts and their replacement rate in relation to the reference wage of an ordinary adult male labourer determined in accordance with the methodology envisaged in Article 66 of the Convention. With regard to the extent to which the total amount of family benefit attains the level prescribed by Article 44 of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to calculate it on the basis of the reference wage referred to above or the amount of the SMIG if it corresponds to the wage actually received by an ordinary labourer. Finally, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide statistical data on changes in the cost-of-living index, inflation and earnings in the country since the last revision of the SMIG in 1998, and on the number of employed persons protected by the social security scheme and by the special schemes in relation to the total number of employed persons in the country.

Furthermore, the Committee takes due note of the fact that the Government is requesting the technical support of the International Labour Office in the context of the application of the Convention. In the meantime, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the extent to which the recommendations made by the ILO in 2002 in the context of the technical cooperation project on the actuarial evaluation of the scheme administered by the National Social Security Fund have been given effect. (Actuarial evaluation of the scheme administered by the Social Security Fund as of 31 December 2000, Geneva, 2002, X (ILO/RP/Mauritanie/R.15), ISBN 92-2-13001-4.)
