People with disabilities — employment in EU institutions
17.4.2014
Question for written answer E-005109-14
to the Council
Rule 117
Roberta Metsola (PPE)
Many Member States have an employment policy based on a mandatory employment quota, usually set out in specific legislation on employing or promoting the employment of people with disabilities. According to such legislation, employers are obliged to have a certain proportion of people with disabilities among their staff and only registered people with disabilities fulfilling the eligibility criteria can count towards this quota. This ensures the willingness of countries to integrate and provide equal opportunities for people with disabilities.
Does the Council have any statistics on the total number and percentage of people with disabilities who are employed in the Council?
