"Mr President, Commissioner. Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia. It is a long list. Violent assaults, human trafficking, expulsions, sterilisations. While all these instances of discrimination are suffered by the Roma in several countries in the European Union, I should like to remind you that the term ‘Roma’ also includes travellers. Now, travellers do not have the right to choose their place of abode, and expulsions are an everyday event.
In France, the ‘
’ makes them second-class citizens. They have to stay on insalubrious sites, with no public transport, no refuse collections and no school-bus service, although the funding exists. Last month, at Dale Farm, near London, travellers had to fight not to be evicted to Basildon. In Toulouse, where I live myself, the family of Frédéric Levy, a Frenchman, of fixed abode, and owner of the land on which the family was living, all of whose children are at school, became, like many other families, subject to a court order requiring it to demolish its home.
Now, Commissioner, like my fellow Members, I ask you quite specifically this: what pressure are you going to put on Member States, what specific measures are you going to take finally to put an end to this intolerable discrimination?"@en1
