"Listening to this debate one may think that poverty and hunger are problems of the developing countries. Deep poverty does exist in Europe. Therefore this Parliament fully agrees that Europe -along with an adequate assistance strategy- should join UN efforts and contribute to ease the difficulties of those in need.
With the forthcoming accessions, Roma minority population of Central and Eastern Europe will grow from a present estimated 1,5-2 million to 5-6 million, forming largest ethnic minority group in the EU. Substantial fraction of Roma live amongst particularly marginalised conditions, often in large families with many children. (Ms Zaborska is right in calling attention to double discrimination by gender and origin, however misses to note the threat of consequent child poverty). Multiple handicaps lead to defying conditions for improvement or break through in need of prevention or targeted without delay.
I ask the Commission to make sure that complex development projects aimed at improving the quality of life of disadvantaged communities -especially that of the Roma minority- will be embedded in the new cohesion policy of 2007-13 as requested by the EP-Roma Forum on 31st January, suggesting to join forces and share tasks with the 'Roma Decade Programme' launched on 2nd February by the World Bank, the Open Society Foundation and 8 European national governments."@en1
