"The return of over 8 thousand Roma from France to their country of origin – especially Romania and Bulgaria – is certainly a issue which is worthy of the attention of the European Parliament. I am not a supporter of rash judgments and threats but prefer the path of a thorough examination of the situation and its subsequent evaluation. Let us take the path of dialogue with the French side. Let us give the French side a chance to explain everything and only then let us draw conclusions as to whether it is a case of a violation of human rights or whether the approach to the Roma is being carried out within the confines of European law. I expect an active approach from the European Commission in the spirit of its mission as guardian of the Treaties.
It would be a mistake if for reasons of convenience a strategy of obfuscation and attempts to let the problem bubble away were to be adopted. I would also like to add that I believe the only way to move forward on the Roma issue is the acceptance of a unified European strategy covering all the states concerned and having a direct connection to the European Social Fund as well as other financial resources of the EU budget. First and foremost, though, we have to recognise that the Roma problem is a European problem."@en1
