"I support this resolution which expresses deep concern at the measures taken by the French authorities and by other Member States’ authorities targeting Roma and Travellers and providing for their expulsion and urges those authorities immediately to suspend all expulsions of Roma. It further emphasises that mass expulsions are prohibited by the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and that such measures are in violation of the EU Treaties and EU law, since they amount to discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity and a breach of the Directive on the free movement of citizens and of their families in the EU. I welcome Commissioner Reding’s belated but strong response that she is convinced that the Commission will have no choice but to initiate infringement proceedings against France for breaches of the Free Movement Directive. Roma are the single most discriminated-against community in Europe. They continue to suffer serious systematic discrimination in education, housing, employment and equal access to healthcare and other public services. However, as EU citizens Roma have the perfect and equal right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States."@en1
