Each Contracting Party shall,
as far as possible, take appropriate measures to assist migrant workers
and their families on the occasion of their final return to their State of
origin, and in particular the steps referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of
Article 7 of this Convention. The provision of financial assistance shall
be left to the discretion of each Contracting Party.
To enable migrant workers to
know, before they set out on their return journey, the conditions on which
they will be able to resettle in their State of origin, this State shall
communicate to the receiving State, which shall keep available for those
who request it, information regarding in particular:
possibilities and
conditions of employment in the State of origin;
financial aid granted for
economic reintegration;
the maintenance of social
security rights acquired abroad;
steps to be taken to
facilitate the finding of accommodation;
equivalence accorded to
occupational qualifications obtained abroad and any tests to be passed
to secure their official recognition;
equivalence accorded to
educational qualifications, so that migrant workers' children can be
admitted to schools without down-grading.
