"Mr President, one of the most important poems by Kostis Palamas, the world-renowned Greek poet who wrote the words of the Olympic Anthem, is called ‘Twelve Lays of the Gypsy’. This poem is a hymn to what drives the members of the Roma ethnic group. It symbolises man who refuses to bow to anything, man who is constantly on the move, constantly looking for opportunities to create something new; it symbolises cosmopolitanism.

In light of the national programmes for Roma which we expect to come out of this framework this year, the Commission must look on their social integration as a huge challenge and we are expecting much of the Commission on this point, Commissioner. We need to find practical ways of eliminating discrimination against them and to learn from those aspects of their way of life that tend to go beyond national borders within the European Union.
As the performer of Palamas’s poem said in 1907: ‘and if we have a motherland, it stretches as far as the kingdom of the sun’."@en1

"st-century Europe, the Roma are, unfortunately a minority – as all the previous speakers have said – which is often repressed and excluded from society and from the structures of the State in which they live and move. Our very society often ignores and overlooks their rights. They are very often denied the right to live with us, a denial which obviously causes problems and which is recognised in the strategy we approved here in Parliament a few months ago, for which we have Mr Járóka to thank. That strategy sets the integration of the Roma as the Union objective for 2020."1
