"Mr President, Roma, the largest European minority, are suffering from institutional discrimination, anti-Gypsyism, extraordinary levels of poverty and social exclusion, segregated systems in housing, education and social welfare. Short-term solutions are not an answer to the widespread and deep-rooted problems of Roma. We need to evaluate existing good practices, as well as the negative effects of existing policies for the Roma population.
One, but not the only, example is taking Roma children away from their families and putting them in separate boarding schools. These measures do not solve problems: they lead, rather, to more segregation, and impact deeply and negatively on the lives of Roma families. Europe needs an effective long-term Roma strategy. This summit gives us a new opportunity for affirmative action, different from the first Roma Summit, which did not include real political commitments in the EU. The EU should start by setting a good example, by offering more positions to Roma people and including Roma and civil society in the strategy."@en1
