Convention (n° 159) sur la réadaptation professionnelle et l'emploi des personnes handicapées, 1983 - France (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in its first report, and the measures taken to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. It would be grateful if in its next report the Government would provide additional information on the following points:

Article 9 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's report that staff of organizations responsible for the occupational and social integration of the disabled are recruited according to their qualifications in the areas of employment, occupational training and special problems of the disabled. Please provide more detailed information on the measures taken with regard to training and the availability of rehabilitation counsellors and other suitably qualified staff, as required by this provision of the Convention; useful indications on these matters are contained in Part V of Recommendation No. 168 which is complementary to the Convention.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the annexes to the Government's report have not been received by the Office (a reminder was sent to the Government on 9 December 1991). The Committee would be grateful if in its next report the Government would provide the previously mentioned information and reports, or the most recent ones in the case of periodical publications (particularly reports on the implementation of the Act of 1987), which show how the Convention is applied in practice.
