"Prior to Romania’s accession to the European Union, there were many voices in this Parliament claiming that the Roma people are discriminated against in Romania. For this reason, several NGOs have published various studies in this field.
Romania has continually stated that the Roma people are a major concern for the authorities, but one cannot say that there is discrimination. Romania has implemented programmes for the integration of Roma in the society, including measures mainly related to education and even positive discrimination actions.
After 2007, the Roma people, not only from Romania, but also from Eastern countries, spread to Europe for economic reasons, but especially for reasons related to the nomadic tradition of these people. This was an opportunity for those who gave advice to implement it.
Unfortunately, what has happened in Italy is not a European lesson. It is inadmissible to fingerprint European citizens and, especially, children, it is not normal to set fire to camps installed, with the tacit consent of the authorities.
I believe the situation of the Roma people are European Community subjects and I ask all those with responsibilities – European institutions, governments, NGOs – to contribute to drawing up a common, coherent policy for the integration of these people, but entirely based on European principles."@en1
