lpv:translated text	"It is very difficult to write a balanced, unbiased report on the issue of the Roma and Roma women. The author of this report has succeeded in doing so, for which I give her my sincere congratulations. The report mentions resolving a major problem, which is the situation of Roma women. We should remember that the total number of Roma in the EU is estimated at 7 to 9 million, and according to UNDP figures, their number will go up by 2 to 3.2 million after the accession of Romania and Bulgaria. This is the equivalent of a medium-sized EU country. The discrimination that the Roma obviously suffer is a highly complex social and cultural phenomenon, where cause and effect are difficult to identify, if they can be distinguished at all. It appears that this problem, which Europe finds increasingly complicated, can only be resolved through education, employability and employment, and a change in living conditions. As finding a satisfactory solution is beyond the capabilities of an individual country, given also the free movement of persons within the EU, the European Commission should in my view proceed to provide targeted, properly accounted-for financial support, and a more effective programme for resolving the situation of the Roma and particularly of Roma women, which should include the Open Method of Coordination to spread best practice. On the other hand, what Mrs Ferrero-Waldner says is also true. The EU does have anti-discriminatory legislation, but in my view the European Commission should demand much closer observance of these directives, as in the case of the Roma there is clear infringement of these directives, whether in the form of direct or indirect discrimination."@en1
