Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report received in October 2005, in which it is indicated that 29 persons who participated in a training course for the deaf and dumb have been integrated into the labour market. The Government also attaches a copy of the inter-institutional collaboration agreement for the vocational training of young persons with disabilities, concluded in May 2004 by the Secretariat of State for Labour and the National Council for Disability, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank. The Committee notes with interest the provisions of the new General Disability Act (No. 42-2000 of 29 June 2000). The Committee requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the results achieved by public policies and private initiatives designed to achieve the integration of persons with disabilities into the open labour market. Please also provide statistical data on the vocational integration of persons with disabilities in so far as possible, classified on the basis of gender, occupation and income.
