". I believe the Italian Government’s decision to fingerprint citizens of Roma origin and, in particular, children, seriously infringes the fundamental rights of the European citizens. Fingerprinting a child at an early age could mark him/her for life. The fingerprinting of children less than 14 years of age is done based on a form used in criminal investigations, which infringes the fundamental rights of the citizens. I did not agree with postponing the vote on the resolution because the situation is urgent and the fingerprinting of children must stop. One cannot start from the presumption of guilt of some children and the treatment of children of Roma origin, used today in Italy, is unacceptable. We request the Italian Government to stop the fingerprinting actions for minors of Roma origin in Italy. The Union should give an example as regards the respect for the fundamental rights and, for this reason, the Commission should investigate the situation in Italy and request the Italian Government to stop the fingerprinting of children of Roma origin immediately. This is why I voted in favour of the European Parliament resolution to stop the fingerprinting of people of Roma origin and, especially, of the Roma children, in the larger framework of “Creating a database with the fingerprints of people of Roma origin in Italy”."@en1
