". First of all I would like to express my support for the position that the struggle on behalf of vulnerable groups continues to require separate consideration and a separate EU programme in the next budget cycle. I fear that combining this problem – which in itself calls for joint and differentiated treatment – with other areas may endanger concerted and effective action on the part of Europe. At the same time – partly as a result of past expansion and partly in view of the expansion still to come – one of Europe’s least often addressed social crises is the social protection and integration of the Roma. These groups as a whole already suffer from considerable oppression, but it is the Roma women and children who are particularly in danger, for they are daily exposed to the threat of violence. The same may be said regarding refugee and migrant women and children, who are also visibly subjected to both external and internal oppression. To illustrate the humanitarian catastrophe linked to illegal migration, it should suffice to say that over a good decade and a half more than 5 000 people lost their lives in the Mediterranean migratory wave, within which, of course, the weakest groups are once again at greatest risk. I should add that among society’s most marginalised members, the gravest danger is the horror of forced prostitution and sexual coercion, which are often linked to various forms of organised crime such as human trafficking and drug trade. I am convinced that these various problems can be resolved only through long-term and complex plans of action and European-wide cooperation. I truly believe that the European Parliament will be at the vanguard of such efforts."@en1
