This deliverable presents a comparative analysis of how five European countries (France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain) define disability and implement inclusive employment practices in the transport and logistics sector.

Report Highlights

• Definitions and recognition of disability: legal, medical, and administrative criteria used in each country.

• Employment policies and employer obligations: quota systems, financial incentives, support mechanisms, reasonable accommodations, and legal frameworks.

• Access to vocational training: inclusive and specialized training pathways, pedagogical adaptations, and support systems for qualification in the sector.

• Sector-specific constraints: regulations related to driving, handling equipment, health and safety standards, and aptitude requirements.

Objectives

• Identify regulatory, technical, or organizational barriers to inclusion.

• Highlight existing or emerging enablers across countries.

• Provide a structured foundation for future recommendations and developments within the project.
