lpv:translated text	"Madam President, estimates suggest that Romania has several million gypsy citizens, and instead of there being a responsible social and minority policy addressing their intolerable situation, the world tends to hear about their fate through the sensationalist media. We witnessed this in connection with the criminal acts committed by Romanian gypsies in Italy. It is regrettable and distressing that it is only the shocking events in Italy that have managed to reach the European Parliament’s social response threshold. It is even sadder that some political forces are treating these events as interference in Italy’s domestic affairs and are trying to make political capital out of the gypsy issue. We must, on the other hand, oppose the use of anti-Romanian gypsy sentiment among the public by some political forces to foment anti-Romanian feeling in general. In the first place, the situation that has evolved in Italy is not an Italian domestic matter, and neither is it merely an issue relating to Romanian gypsies. It is an issue concerning all gypsy people living within the European Union, and one that demands and warrants more than just case-by-case or symptomatic treatment."@en1
