Launch of European Parliament traineeship programme for disabled people



Several initiatives to improve the equality of opportunities for disabled
people have been taken by the Secretariat of the European Parliament.



Recently, a specific traineeship programme for disabled people was adopted
by the Bureau of European Parliament on 4 September. The programme is an
example of positive action, as it is an addition to other traineeship
options available and will offer the opportunity of a paid five-month
traineeship to ten disabled candidates in 2007.



The text of the programme has been launched in 22 languages. A description
of the programme and the application form are available on the
Euro-parliament website:
