The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention (in conjunction with Article 3, paragraph 2). In its previous comments the Committee drew the Government’s attention to the provisions of section 14 of the Civil Code and section 3(1) of Legislative Decree No. 84/78 on compulsory occupational accident insurance. Under these provisions, foreign workers are not considered to be in the same position as nationals unless there is a reciprocal arrangement with their country of origin. In its last report the Government indicates that the law remains unchanged, but that a revision of Decree No. 84/78 is being envisaged and it will enable the legislation to be brought into conformity with the Convention. The Committee takes note of this information. It trusts that, in its next report, the Government will be able to indicate the adoption of measures for the elimination of any condition of reciprocity laid down in the abovementioned legislation with regard to compensation for occupational accidents, in accordance with the Convention. Please provide copies of any texts adopted in this regard.

2. With reference to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government states that it lacks the material and human resources to compile and process statistical data. The Committee notes the Government’s difficulties and hopes that it will be possible to overcome them in the near future and that the Government will be in a position in its future reports to provide the information requested under Part V of the report form.
