"The situation of the Romanian community in Italy is a cause of ever-growing concern. The whole of Europe is already familiar with the way in which attempts have been made to blame a whole community on account of the actions of a few offenders. Romanians are facing ever-increasing problems on a daily basis, along with growing intimidation and fear.
Let me give you just a few examples. There was a recent report in the press about a blatant case of discrimination. The director of an Italian company providing telephone, cable and internet services advised his employees not to sign contracts with Romanian citizens. In another example, a child, who was a Romanian national of Roma ethnic origin, suffered an injury, but none of the hospitals in the city of Messina wanted to admit him. He died on the way to Catania. These are just a few specific incidents. However, Romanians in Italy are facing similar censure almost every day.
I believe that clear notice must be given to the Italian Government at European level to halt the acts of discrimination against Romanian immigrants."@en1
