"Mr President, Vice-President Reding has certainly convinced me that she will take this question seriously, and that she is working hard on it with her colleagues.
However, like others, I am impatient to hear what the Commission’s judgment is on whether France has broken EU law or not. I hope we will hear that very soon, and whether the Commission intends to take infringement proceedings against France – and indeed any other Member States that deserve it – for breach of the Free Movement Directive.
As others have said, I accept that there are restrictions on residence rights under the Free Movement Directive, and indeed under the – regrettable – transitional arrangements for accession, but we want to hear from the Commission precisely whether these have been breached.
One aspect that has not been mentioned elsewhere – and this is a very sensitive question, and which allows the French Government to wriggle out of the question of ethnic discrimination – is that France does not collect ethnic data. So when Minister Lalouche said at a meeting I attended that one in four young people arrested in France were of Romanian nationality, he was absolving himself from saying that they were Roma."@en1
