"Mr President, I speak on behalf of the new Italian Socialist Party (PSI) in support of the legitimate demands of so many Roma whom I have had the good fortune to meet in my years of social and political engagement. The hope of the socialist members of the new PSI is that 8 April, the date scheduled as International Roma Day, will be not only a time of celebration, but above all an opportunity to increase public awareness of the problems currently faced by the largest ethnic minority in Europe. I should like to point out just one aspect that, in our opinion, is particularly important: in spite of the commitments undertaken by the Commission, including those of recent times, we must nevertheless note that in some Member States and candidate countries young Roma are often segregated in schools for the mentally disabled or sent to classes for children with learning difficulties. This obviously increases their sense of unease and social marginalisation. On the contrary, provision must be made for full access to the ordinary education system, since schools are a prime means of promoting full social integration. The current situation is an unjustified hiatus totally at odds with those principles of equality, tolerance and respect that lie at the heart of the fellow feeling fostered by the EU. Everyone, within their own area of expertise, must endeavour to turn words into deeds."@en1
