lpv:translated text	"I would like, right at the start, to express the hope that the Roma Summit in Córdoba will be the crucial time for adopting a common strategy devoted to Roma inclusion. The living conditions of this community remain unacceptable and discrimination against them is increasing, in spite of the fact that the sums allocated in recent years to projects aimed at improving their situation are approaching EUR 0.5 billion. I think that the time has come for us to shift from good intentions to deeds. Unfortunately, the European Commission has still not proved that it has the necessary desire to coordinate the actions for improving the Roma’s standard of living and social integration and for combating the racist actions directed against them. I think that the Roma issue must be a special task, clearly defined for the Commissioner for Social Affairs. It would also be extremely useful if the Commission experts tasked with dealing with this issue also include experts of Roma origin. I also believe that we need to have a social and cultural approach so as to avoid increasing the already existing inequalities in terms of both literacy and employment levels. With this in mind, I call on the Commission to encourage labour market access programmes for Roma migrants and cooperation between the local authorities and Roma communities, and to consider closer collaboration with non-governmental organisations."@en1
