"Mr President, Commissioner, some minority groups have been present in the Member States for centuries, whilst others are relatively recent arrivals.
The Roma are one of the traditional minority groups that have been present in Union countries essentially as long as records exist. I am sorry to say that in my country, Poland, although the Roma are not discriminated against, the extent of their integration leaves much to be desired. They share this view. I believe that the Roma need more support from the state. In particular, they need assistance with vocational training and with education in general.
Member States should play the leading role regarding the integration of this and other minority groups. Common Union legislation would be very helpful to us in our endeavours, however. I have in mind, in particular, defining the rights and responsibilities of new arrivals from Islamic states who find it hard to integrate into Europe."@en1
