".
The Roma ethnic group is a minority, the majority of whose members are citizens of a European Union Member State. All European citizens have the rights and duties set out in Directive 2004/38/CE concerning the right to freedom of movement in the European Union, according to the conditions stipulated therein. Member States do, however, have the right to restrict freedom of movement and the immigration of citizens of the European Union into their territory, regardless of nationality, for reasons of public order, security or public health.
Member States are not obliged to inform the European Commission before applying this public order clause, which remains their sovereign right. Although I share the conviction that the European Union and its Member States share responsibility for encouraging the inclusion of the Roma community, through an integrated strategy, and through cooperation between the Member States, the European Commission, the other European institutions and other interested parties in compliance with the principle of non discrimination, I am unable to vote in favour of condemning the late and limited reaction of the Commission to the situation of the Roma in Europe and verifying compliance with human rights, as this is a responsibility shared by all. For these reasons, I am abstaining from voting on this motion for a resolution."@en1
