The motion for a resolution tabled by the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe and the Group of the Greens, as well as the Confederal Group of the European United Left also contains several unfounded and even unacceptable statements. As I already indicated in the debate on Tuesday regarding the questions addressed to the European Council and Commission, political opinions and legal assessments are two different things, and while we may find the expulsions deplorable or excessive, only the European Commission has the competence to assess the legality of the steps taken by France. In my opinion, to accuse a country of a serious infringement based on unsubstantiated information, prior to the Commission’s pending assessment and not knowing its results diminishes Parliament’s authority. However, as rapporteur for Parliament’s European Roma strategy, I felt that in the current situation it is imperative for the European Parliament to formulate the progressive recommendations made in the motion in an official resolution.
It is therefore important to state that the EU and its Member States share the responsibility for Roma integration, which requires a comprehensive EU-level strategy. This should be created with the inclusion of Roma communities from grassroots levels to international NGOs, including all aspects of planning, implementation and control. We must also state that a complex development programme must be created, which targets simultaneously all related policy areas and facilitates immediate intervention in ghetto areas struggling with serious structural disadvantages."@en1
