"The Roma is a cross-border ethnic and cultural community numbering more than 10 million across Europe. The social problems affecting Roma require concerted, long-term action, involving the European Union and Member States.
Important initiatives have been launched in this area, but I believe that we need to go further. We need to adopt a proper European strategy for Roma, based on well-targeted actions and a regular assessment of its impact.
I come from a country with a large Roma community and I welcome that today we are acknowledging that the Roma issue is an issue for the whole of Europe to deal with. A strategy is in force in Romania, which dates back before the country joined the EU, aimed at improving the Roma’s situation. Special places are provided to them free at public universities, which is helping greatly to raise the level of education and culture among the members of this community. National and local public authorities are making efforts to promote social inclusion of the Roma and to integrate them into the labour market in order to combat dire poverty and provide them with access to health care services. However, consistent financial support is required from Europe in order to achieve the desired results."@en1
