"Citizens of Roma origin are often victims of discrimination in the various EU countries; since it can take many different forms – affecting their political, economic, social or cultural rights – it fosters poverty, social exclusion and disintegration.
Indeed, violation of or the non-exercise of fundamental rights such as the right to health, housing, education, employment with rights and social security, fuels situations of social inequality, marginalisation and ghettoisation, illiteracy, incorporation into the informal economy, and social and political non-participation that many citizens of Roma origin also face.
We therefore need effective policies to combat social inequality, exploitation and the concentration of wealth, create jobs with rights, ensure access to and exercise of the most fundamental rights for the promotion of public services, and eradicate poverty and social exclusion. Basically, policies that force a break with the policies and directions of the European Union, a central issue that the resolution omits.
We do not believe that the solution to the problems that many citizens of Roma origin face lies in adopting ‘common policies’ at EU level, as the resolution advocates.
Hence our abstention."@en1
