"I welcome the adoption of this joint motion for a resolution on the situation of the Roma people in Europe. In view of the Commission’s inertia and the silence of its President, José Manuel Barroso, the European Parliament has taken a stand against the policy implemented by the government of the French President towards the Roma community. I must point out that Mr Sarkozy’s policy is contrary to the principle of the free movement of persons guaranteed by the European Union. Romania is a Member State and the European Union forbids any discrimination among its citizens based on ethnic origin or nationality. Moreover, the Charter of Fundamental Rights has been legally binding since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in December 2009. The resolution demands a European policy to respond to their situation. This resolution was needed because Mr Sarkozy’s actions, like those of Mr Berlusconi in Italy, are representative of the right wing in Europe. They want a Europe that suits the banks and multinationals. They agree to the free movement of capital, but when it is a matter of the poor and persecuted they close their borders and throw them out."@en1
