lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the EU rests on a foundation of respect for human rights. We often criticise countries outside our Union for violations of these rights, but we forget that we need to put our own house in order. It is painful to discover that systematic discrimination on ethnic grounds still exists in the EU. The Roma are a group that has been persecuted right throughout history. I do not believe that a single one of our Member States is free from guilt in this regard. The EU institutions have made up their minds to put a stop to this abuse. Still, there is a constant stream of racist statements and decisions that discriminate against this group. The Commission has condemned such incidents. It is now high time to ensure that the Commission also follows up its promises with specific action and measures against those Member States that continue to discriminate against the Roma, disregarding the EU’s fundamental values."@en1
