1. When considering the question put by the distinguished Parliamentarian, the Committee of Ministers was informed by the Greek delegation that while new measures have been adopted in order to protect certain vulnerable groups such as, among others, unemployed persons and persons with disabilities, no new legislation has recently been adopted “exacerbating the measures which were found to be a violation of the European Social Charter”.
2. The Committee of Ministers would recall its reply to Mr Hunko’s question referred to by the Honourable Parliamentarian, dated 10 April, and the fact that it falls primarily to the European Committee of Social Rights to examine any alleged violation of the European Social Charter and not the Committee of Ministers.
