"Even though gender equality and non-discrimination are fundamental principles of the European Union, and despite some effective initiatives both in the Member States and at EU level, most women still have to overcome barriers when starting and running their own businesses and entering self-employment. National governments, local authorities and the private sector should encourage and support self-employment especially among those women – through administrative reliefs, specialised courses and internal targets – who are excluded from the labour market. Due to widespread multiple discrimination based both on gender and ethnic origin, it is extremely difficult for Romani women to become entrepreneurs. Member States need to examine obstacles to self-employment by Romani women, and to create programmes to enable accessible, fast and inexpensive registration for Romani women entrepreneurs and self-employed persons. It is also necessary to establish avenues for accessible credit – including micro-credit – for the financing of undertakings by Romani women, and the Commission must support these activities through relevant funding mechanisms."@en1
