"In contrast to my colleagues, I do not question the legality of expulsion decisions taken by the French authorities. All Member States may do this by invoking legitimate grounds for internal safety and maintaining the public order. What I do find regrettable is the associated discourse that seems to aim to accuse an entire ethnic group and awaken unacceptable xenophobic reactions. If a European commits a crime, we cannot conclude that all Europeans are criminals. If a Roma robs, we cannot conclude that all Roma are criminals.
It is important to strengthen the support mechanisms for inclusion of the Roma people and to fight any type of discrimination, stimulating the schooling of their children and protecting their fundamental rights. No one is above the law, neither nomadic people nor governments, and everyone must responsibly contribute to solving problems and not magnify drama or increase tension."@en1
