   of 16 April 2010
   adopting the specifications of the 2011 ad hoc module on employment of disabled people for the labour force sample survey provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 of 9 March 1998 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter referred to as ‘the UN Convention’), signed by the European Community and all its Member States, lays down in its Article 31 on statistics and data collection that State Parties undertake to collect appropriate information, including statistical and research data to enable them to formulate and implement policies to give effect to the UN Convention including the provisions in Article 27 related to work and employment.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               In its Resolution of 17 March 2008 on the situation of persons with disabilities in the European Union (2), the Council underlines that disability statistics are needed to establish a picture of the overall situation of persons with disabilities in Europe and that such statistical and research data allow informed disability policies to be formulated and implemented at the different levels of governance. The Council calls upon the Member States and the Commission, in accordance of their respective competences, to ensure that works begin on a European disability strategy to succeed the current European Disability Action Plan 2004-2010 including by assessing how national actions reflect the commitments made by the European Community and the Member States to fully implement the UN Convention at European level, considering setting consistent and comparable national targets to that end.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               A comprehensive and comparable set of data on employment of persons with disabilities is needed in order to monitor progress towards the implementation of Article 27 of the UN Convention and the objectives of the European Employment Strategy, the European Disability Strategy as well as to measure the evolution of labour market participation of persons with disabilities.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 365/2008 of 23 April 2008 adopting the programme of ad hoc modules, covering the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, for the labour force sample survey provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 (3) includes an ad hoc module on employment of disabled people. The list of variables for this module should be defined.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
