Convention (n° 159) sur la réadaptation professionnelle et l'emploi des personnes handicapées, 1983 - Grèce (Ratification: 1985)

The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments, and in particular, that concerning consultation procedures in the committees established by Law No. 1648 (Article 5 of the Convention). It would be grateful if, in its next report, the Government would provide information on the following points:

Articles 7 and 8. The Committee notes from the Government's report that a study is being conducted by a research group of the National Research Centre concerning the evaluation of the special services provided for disabled persons. It asks the Government to supply a copy of this study, or any relevant extracts, where available. The Committee also notes that, apart from seven special offices for vocational rehabilitation operating in the capital and in some other cities of the country, local offices of the OAED also provide services to "persons with special needs". It asks the Government to indicate: (1) whether these local offices provide vocational guidance, vocational training, placement and other related services for disabled persons; (2) whether they are used with necessary adaptations to enable disabled persons to secure, retain and advance in employment; and (3) whether they provide services for disabled persons in rural areas and remote communities.
