lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I am deeply disappointed to find President Barroso not sufficiently engaged in dealing with Roma issues. In this parliamentary term we have adopted two joint resolutions on Roma and a report on Roma women, and we have had a number of meetings with the EC. Meanwhile anti-Gypsyism has increased and, apparently, the public acceptance of racism too. It is high time for action. This case in Italy with the Roma is a clear example of government-sponsored racism. The violence against the Roma scapegoats in Italy reminds me of the anti-Jewish and anti-Romany pogroms of the 1930s. Berlusconi’s political tactics look like the ones of Milošević’s ethnic cleansing in ex-Yugoslavia. I want to call on your solidarity to exert pressure on the EC and the Council for an EU Roma policy. I am convinced that the EU presidency has heard this debate and will examine the Roma issue more seriously during the next EU summit."@en1
