"Mr President, the motion for a resolution which gained the majority of votes in Parliament also received my vote. The resolution concerns an essential feature of the law, which makes it very clear that no sanction can be linked to nationality. Responsibility must always be of an individual nature, and that is a foundational principle of the law. Roma people should be treated in the same way as other citizens of the Union. This means, too, that they are subject to the law, and if they break it they must bear responsibility on the same basis as others. We cannot allow a situation in which nationality is invoked as a reason for exemption from bearing responsibility for breaking the law. The point is that nationality should never be the basis for deciding what sanctions are taken, because sanctions should always be decided on an individual basis."@en1
