23. kuupäevalrd of September, MEP Katrin Langensiepen presented the first draft of the new report on the ‘Implementation of Council Directive 2000/78/EC establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation in light of the UN CRPD’. EUD has actively inputted the report and has provided extensive feedback to Ms. Langensiepen and her team through brainstorming meetings from the month of June until September 2020.
The Employment Equality Directive (EED) was adopted prior to the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), which has resulted in the EED lacking important provisions set forth in the UN CRPD. Indeed, the EED, as a piece of secondary legislation, is bound by the UN CRPD. In this regard, EUD, together with other Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and MEP Langensiepen and her team, followed a comprehensive and inclusive drafting process of the report, and agreed on the following recommendations for the EU:
- Adopt an EU horizontal anti-discrimination directive;
- Establish clear EU guidelines on reasonable accommodation;
- Include intersectional and multiple discrimination in employment;
- Ensure mutual recognition of the disability status;
- Collect data on employment disaggregated by gender, age, types of disability, race/technic origin and sexual orientation;
EUD hindab kõrgelt selle raporti koostamise avatud ja koostööd Euroopa Parlamendi liikme Katrin Langensiepeni meeskonnaga. EUD soovib rõhutada Euroopa Parlamendi liikmete ja puuetega inimeste organisatsioonide avatud, läbipaistvate ja kaasavate konsultatsiooniprotsesside tähtsust kui põhielementi, et tagada kõigi puuetega inimeste täielik kaasamine, nagu on sätestatud ÜRO puuetega inimeste õiguste konventsiooni artikli 4 lõikes 3 ja artikli 33 lõikes 3, mis käsitlevad puuetega inimeste osalemise tagamist konventsiooni rakendamises ja järelevalves.
EUD would like to personally thank MEP Katrin Langensiepen for the report.
