| Description | Contrary to sex, race, colour or nationality a disability has been recognised as a base of discrimination only for quite a short period of time. Compared to other bases of discrimination a disability is characterized with certain specific features. In order to comply with the principle of equal treatment with persons with disabilities a reasonable accommodation is sometimes required. The EC law provides for an obligation for employers to take an appropriate action, where needed in particular case, to enable a person with a disability to have access to, participate in, or advance in employment, or to undergo a vocational training. |
