lpv:translated text	"I voted for this resolution since Europe’s Roma continue to suffer great discrimination and, in many cases, experience immense poverty and social isolation. I would like to draw attention to the fact that the situation of most Roma living in many EU Member States differs from the situation of other European ethnic minorities and therefore, we must take the necessary measures at EU level and establish a joint strategy to combat discrimination against Roma. I agree with the European Parliament’s call for the new members of the Commission to give Roma matters a priority in their areas of competence and to devote the required attention to implementing the strategy on Roma inclusion. I would like to stress that living in a democratic and free society, we must honour the fundamental rights and freedoms of all people. Therefore, the Commission and the Member States must agree and find a common dialogue on the Roma situation and take measures to combat their discrimination. Only once we have found a common European approach on European Roma issues will the strategy be actively implemented. I also support Parliament’s position that we should include representatives of the Roma community in the preparation process for EU policy on Roma issues."@en1
