"One of the fundamental principles of the European Union is the free movement of people. The area of freedom, security and justice should ensure the security and, particularly, the respect for the rights of all European citizens.
The current situation of the Roma people in Italy questions precisely the common fundamental values upon which the European construction relies. On 14 December 2007, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union was signed and adopted. The European Union acknowledges the values stated in this Charter, in Article 6 which says that "The Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity" and "the Union places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice". Also, Article 19 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights mentions explicitly that collective expulsions are forbidden.
I request the Italian government to ensure compliance with the rights of the Romanian citizens in Italy, as well as their safety. I request the Italian government to take actions against any forms of discrimination on nationality or ethnicity criteria.
I request the Commission, in its capacity as guardian of the Treaties, to sanction firmly the infringement of the fundamental rights of the European citizens and not allow the adoption of laws or actions that would limit the free movement of people."@en1
