"On Thursday, 29 March, the European Parliament voted on the report on dismantling the obstacles to EU citizens’ rights, which sets out 25 proposals aimed at improving our citizens’ daily lives when moving, working, studying, shopping and exercising their political rights. In this report focusing on citizenship, which I support wholeheartedly, Parliament saw fit to single out France by referring to the 2010 Roma episode, thus reopening a closed chapter which, at the time, was the subject of a good deal of misinterpretation and distraction. Must I remind my fellow Members that the Commission itself decided against bringing infringement proceedings against France, and that in deciding to evacuate the illegal camps, the authorities were simply implementing court rulings? In no way was it a deportation of residents on the basis of their ethnic origin: they were accompanied back to the border primarily on a voluntary basis. This malicious distortion for political purposes is unworthy of all those who have conveyed this false message. To record inaccurate information in a report that places citizens at the heart of its concerns is not exactly the role that we expect the European Parliament to play."@en1
