"Mr President, this report is an extremely politically correct one, the type of report, indeed, for which this House appears to have obtained a patent. The economic and social disadvantages of the Roma have yet again been ascribed to so-called intolerance and discrimination. If we just lay down new quotas and muzzling laws and if we just turn on the money tap again, everything will be fine.
The experience from the Netherlands has clearly shown, of course, that the majority of the Roma community refuses to adapt and integrate, whatever we do. It is not our fault, but the fault of the Roma community itself, that the Roma are disproportionately represented in crime statistics. Their values and norms are directly at odds with our own. I also oppose any attempt by Europe to meddle with this issue and I wish to repeat that each Member State is entitled to remove from its territory people who systematically refuse to adapt and who resort to criminal behaviour."@en1
