"We are all aware that the problem posed by the Roma’s situation is not only a national problem for each Member State separately, but is a European problem and must be resolved at this level.
I would like to stress that the new Member States in particular need proper support from the EU in integrating Roma, both from a social perspective and in terms of the labour market.
It is well known that the number of Roma who do not have access to the European Union’s labour market is worrying. We must therefore stop putting off the creation of effective European programmes to boost primarily the Roma’s access to education so that unemployment stops being an aspect of life constantly passed on from one generation to the next.
The free movement which Roma from the new Member States currently enjoy has not meant that access to the EU labour market has been just as easy. All we can say is that the only thing which Roma migrants in other Member States have done is to export their own poverty.
Against the backdrop of the current economic crisis, it is even more difficult for Roma citizens to access the labour market, which means that a large number of them are living below the poverty line.
We are therefore facing a major challenge during a period of economic crisis in terms of encouraging employers to offer jobs to the largest minority in Europe."@en1
