"The situation of the Roma in Europe is a problem that especially concerns me, not as a French MEP, but as a European citizen. The great majority of Roma are European citizens. As such, they fully benefit from the freedom of movement and the right of residence provided under the treaties and Directive 2004/38/EC.
This right, however, like all rights, is linked to obligations. Moreover, the law, in all its dimensions, must be respected by everyone. There are currently estimated to be 11 million Roma in Europe. This is clearly an issue for the whole of Europe, and my group is the only one, yet again, to show that it has really given some thought to this issue, by contributing to this debate in a constructive manner.
We must, for example, consider how best to mobilise European funds so as to improve the conditions for integrating Roma into their country of origin. We must equally put a real strategy for the Roma into action at European level, and involve the Roma community in its development, implementation and follow-up."@en1
