"Mr President, I want to draw attention to the topic of human trafficking within the Roma community. The poverty of the Roma and the fact that they are marginalised feeds directly into the trafficking of large numbers of their population around Europe. This cycle of crime continues, with trafficked victims being used for crimes ranging from pick-pocketing to prostitution and large-scale benefit fraud.
The scale of this problem was highlighted by the EU joint police investigation, Operation Golf. A raid in just one village in Romania last year saw the arrest of 26 people responsible for the trafficking of 272 Roma children from one village.
The sooner the Roma community are accepted and welcomed fully into communities and given opportunities to become full financial participants in society, the sooner they will be able to resist the predatory behaviour of the gangs that traffic them. The EU has much work to do and a duty to ensure that their rights are upheld."@en1
