1. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to it earlier comments. It notes with interest, in particular, information supplied under Articles 3, 7 and 8 of the Convention concerning a pilot programme applying the policy of scattered employment of disabled persons and other measures with a view to promote employment opportunities of this category of workers in the open labour market, as well as information concerning the development of various services for disabled persons, including those in the rural areas. The Committee also notes statistical information provided in accordance with point V of the report form. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on the development of those measures and communicate a copy of the Law on Protection of Disabled Persons, referred to in the Government's 1993 reports.

2. The Committee observes that the Government's reports received in May and November 1993 do not contain information requested by the Committee under Articles 5 and 9. It therefore recalls that in its previous direct request under these Articles it asked the Government:

(i) to describe in more detail the manner in which representative employers' and workers' organizations are consulted on the matters referred to in Article 5, and

(ii) to supply further information on measures taken to ensure the availability of suitably qualified staff responsible for the vocational guidance, vocational training, placement and employment of disabled persons (Article 9).
