I support the PSE Group’s resolution () and the joint resolution on the Commission Statement on the situation of Roma in the EU.
In 1984, Parliament first acknowledged that ‘gypsies still suffer discrimination in law and practice’ and called on governments of the Member States to eliminate all forms of discrimination against Roma.
Twenty-one years on, it is unfortunately the case that this conclusion endures: Roma and Travellers still suffer discrimination in law and practice.
The recent establishment of the European Commissioners’ Group on Fundamental Rights, Anti-Discrimination and Equal Opportunities, as well as the stated commitment of President Barroso to address the social exclusion of Roma and Travellers, are positive developments.
These must now be followed by concrete actions by the Commissioners’ Group and the relevant Directorates-General. The Commission has to address the social exclusion of Roma and Travellers in Member States, candidate countries and other countries outside the current borders of the Union, and act, as a matter of urgency, to curb the widespread anti-Roma and anti-Traveller sentiment in Europe. At the very least, this means full and correct application of Council Directive 2000/43/EC implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin."@en1
