E/C.12/ROU/CO/3-5 marginalization risk, and ensuring that individuals so employed retain their jobs when such incentives are no longer offered; (c) Ensuring effective compliance by public and private companies and institutions with the 4 per cent quota for the employment of persons with disabilities, including by providing for dissuasive sanctions for employers in case of noncompliance; (d) Adopting a revised action plan addressing the insufficiencies of the Strategy for the Inclusion of Romanian citizens from the Roma community in order to ensure that the Roma enjoy equality of opportunity and treatment in employment and are provided with sustainable income-generating opportunities, including by enhancing their training skills. Asylum seekers 12. The Committee notes with concern that asylum seekers are not allowed to work during the first year of their stay in the State party and therefore depend on the subsistence allowance. The Committee is also concerned that the amount of allowance provided to asylum seekers is not sufficient to cover their basic needs (arts. 6 and 11). The Committee recommends that the State party take the appropriate steps to amend its legislation allowing asylum seekers to obtain a work permit within one year after their arrival in the State party.

Trade union rights 14. The Committee is concerned at the reported practice of certain employers who make employment conditional upon the worker agreeing not to create or join a trade union (art. 8).

The Committee recommends that the State party take the necessary measures to ensure that the amounts of benefits, such as child-raising allowance, unemployment 5
