Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

In its previous direct request, the Committee had asked for information on the implementation of section 2 of the Employment Promotion Act (No. IV) of 1991, as amended, which bans discrimination in the promotion of employment while allowing "additional rights" for persons in a disadvantaged position in the labour market. The Committee had also requested general information on the implementation of the national policy against discrimination in (a) access to vocational training; (b) access to employment and particular occupations; and (c) terms and conditions of employment, including detailed statistics particularly on ethnic minorities. The Committee notes with interest from the Government's report the numerous measures now under way to enable persons with employment problems, in particular Gypsies who constitute the largest group of unemployed with poor qualifications, to have access to employment and to particular occupations, and to education and training, which are examined in more detail in the direct request being addressed to the Government.
