The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in its first report on the application of the Convention. It would be grateful if in its next report the Government would provide additional information on the following points:

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information on the role of organizations of disabled persons in the implementation of the national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons. It also notes the provisions of the Employment Act of 1991 concerning the participation of the trade unions in the implementation of the state employment policy. It would be grateful if the Government will indicate whether trade unions are consulted on the implementation of the national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons, and whether the representative organizations of employers are also consulted on the implementation of the said policy, as required by this Article.

Article 8. The Committee notes brief indications in the Government's report concerning measures taken in rural areas in favour of disabled children. It would be grateful if the Government would describe, in its next report, measures taken in regard to other categories of disabled persons, with a view to promoting the establishment and development of vocational rehabilitation and employment services for these persons in rural areas and remote communities.

Article 9. The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that there is no system of training of vocational rehabilitation staff in the country at present. It also notes the provision of section 15 of the Act on the Social Protection of Disabled Persons, 1992, concerning special training of such staff which shall be ensured by the State. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate, in its next report, measures taken or envisaged to ensure the availablity of suitably qualified vocational rehabilitation staff, in accordance with this Article of the Convention and the national provision referred to above.

Point V of the report form. Please provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including for example statistics, extracts from reports, studies and inquiries, concerning the matters covered by the Convention (for example, with respect to particular areas or branches of activity or particular categories of disabled workers).
