lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted in favour of all members of the European Union having equal rights. That also includes the Roma. I understand that some, for example in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), believe that this motion for a resolution is too much of a tool of political action against France. It is quite true that we must see things in such a way that we do not implement policy as a tool, but, because the European Union is a community of values, that we show that we are really committed to the notion that we should take responsibility for our most vulnerable population groups. We know that at present there are poor levels of social participation among the Roma population in many European countries, and that is why resolving this problem is a challenge that Europeans, the citizens of the European Union, share. We will not be credible while outside Europe we explain how human rights should be tackled, if we do not deal with the Roma situation properly ourselves within the European Union. I hope that this will be viewed as concrete action in the European Parliament. Parliament has, of course, organised various small­scale pilot projects attempting to promote the integration of the Roma into society, through education and so on. Sometimes, however, it seems that this House will not provide cash for projects of this sort out of its budget either, but would rather give it to Greece or some other country, or even countries outside Europe. We must now sort out the Roma issue inside the European Union once and for all. That will mean we will have to demonstrate credibility and the basic values on behalf of which the European Union works."@en1
