Origin - 2015 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 10.6, insert the following paragraph:

"encourages the Montenegrin authorities to promote equality and inclusion for people with disabilities and to use all money in the Fund for the professional rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities in line with the law - only for those people;"

Explanatory note

Employers in Montenegro have paid 34 million Euros into the Fund since May 2009, but the Government has used less than 2 million Euros for the needs of disabled persons, and other money (32 million Euros) was illegally used for something else. People with disabilities are a very vulnerable group. Montenegro has a very good law for their professional rehabilitation and employment, but implementation of that law is very bad.
