"Ladies and gentlemen, the report of Mrs Ždanoka includes, among other things, several issues affecting the Roma, which are important for ensuring equal opportunities. I would like to talk about an area that is very important for the Roma community: statistical data collection.
In view of historical and legal aspects, in Hungary it is very unpleasant to talk about the collection of ethnic data involving the Roma. In my opinion, the research of discrimination using statistical methods may provide data that may be useful to the Roma community, and obviously to other ethnic and minority groups, as well. These data are already available to us, albeit indirectly – for instance, in Hungary we can delimit the areas where the Roma live by examining the under-schooling indicators and the statistical figures of underdeveloped areas – and they may become statistical figures reflecting the efficiency of employment, housing and education programmes affecting the Roma. In this respect, statistical data may be used as evidence in the evaluation of the efficiency of initiatives. They may also become an excellent instrument in the fight to eliminate indirect discrimination, by presenting an authentic picture of, for instance, the extent to which a Member State has been able to apply the anti-discrimination directives transposed into its legal system.
We must recognise the possibilities provided by monitoring, especially because the numerous available programmes of the last decade, aimed at helping to improve the quality of life of the Roma, have hardly made any changes in their situation. This was also due to the fact that we did not have an empirical method to prove the positive or negative outcome of the initiative."@en1
