Articles 1–5 of the Convention. Implementation of vocational rehabilitation and employment policies for persons with disabilities. The Government refers in its report to three vocational rehabilitation schemes which continued to be implemented during 2013 and 2014, namely the Supported Employment Scheme, the Small Units for Entrepreneurship Scheme, and the Vocational Training Scheme. The Government also indicates that, pursuant to the quota system established under Law No. 146(I)/2009 for the hiring of persons with disabilities in the public sector, 83 persons with disabilities were hired between 2009 and 2013. The Department of Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities of the Ministry of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance is collecting data on the implementation of Law No. 146(I)/2009 for the year 2014. Moreover, as from 2014, the Department of Social Inclusion has been implementing a new system for the assessment of disability and functioning based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the measures adopted to promote vocational rehabilitation and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, including on the impact of the vocational rehabilitation schemes being implemented by the Department of Social Inclusion. The Committee further requests the Government to provide information, including up-to-date statistical information that may be available on the employment of persons with disabilities in the private sector (including salaried and self-employed workers). In addition, please provide particulars on the manner in which representative organizations of employers and workers, and representative organizations of and for persons with disabilities are consulted on the matters covered by the Convention. Please also continue to supply information on the implementation of Law No. 146(I)/2009, as well as any other practical information on matters relating to the manner in which the Convention is applied.
