"Mr President, Commissioner Reding, in the year that I have been an MEP, I have got to know you as a Commissioner who takes action against discrimination in many areas and, up to now, I had thought that it was right for you to be Commissioner for Fundamental Rights. However, your speech today, your statements over the last few weeks and the hesitant way that you are dealing with what has happened in France – the mass deportation of Roma – have disappointed me greatly. In this regard, I agree with many people who consider this to be scandalous.
On the one hand, you state that the French Government has told you that there was no targeted action in which fundamental rights were violated, then, on the other hand, you later say that you want to make sure that France is also complying with European law. That means then that France has contravened European law in this regard. Why do you not say that plainly and simply?
I expect you to use the same clarity that the Commission always uses to defend market freedom – as has already been said – to also defend the freedom of establishment and the freedom of movement of all European citizens and not simply to take this lying down."@en1
