The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its first report on the application of the Convention. It asks the Government to provide, in its next report, information on the following points:

Article 1, paragraph 4, of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 1 of Law No. 39 of 1975 on the rehabilitation of the disabled, modified by Law No. 49 of 1982, provides that this Law applies to foreigners resident in the country subject to the reciprocity (with an exception for the Palestinians), whereas this Article does not allow any exclusion from the scope of the Convention on the basis of nationality and therefore the principle of reciprocity should not be applied. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to bring the national legislation into full conformity with the Convention on this point.

Article 5. Please describe in more detail the manner in which representative employers' and workers' organisations are consulted on the implementation of the national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons. Please also indicate whether the representative organisations of and for disabled persons are consulted on the implementation of the said policy, and if so in what manner.

Article 7. Please describe measures taken with a view to providing and evaluating vocational guidance and vocational training services for disabled persons. Please indicate whether existing services for workers generally are used with necessary adaptations.

Article 8. Please indicate whether any measures have been taken or envisaged to promote the establishment and development of vocational rehabilitation and employment services for disabled persons in rural areas and remote communities, in accordance with this Article.

Article 9. Please describe in more detail the measures taken to ensure the availability of suitably qualified staff responsible for the vocational guidance, vocational training, placement and employment of disabled persons.

Point V of the report form. Please provide a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied, including for example statistics, extracts from reports, studies and inquiries concerning the matters covered by the Convention.
