EU funds should support Romani social inclusion from 2014 on PDF Nyomtatás E-mail

The European Commission has announced that the Member States should ensure that their plans for investment from the EU funds during the next seven-year period (2014-2020) also count on the social inclusion of the Romani population. Romani nonprofit organizations and experts on this issue should therefore participate in designing this next period of funding.

Cohesion policy monies are particularly at issue. Four EU commissioners are especially promoting the Commission’s call: Viviane Reding (Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship), László Andor (Employment, Social Affairs and Social Inclusion), Johannes Hahn (Regional Policy) and Androulla Vassiliou (Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth).

“The negotiations about the EU funds for 2014 - 2020 will be decisive. It is therefore important to ensure that national initiatives dedicated to the Romani issue and to the inclusion of Romani people into society, as well as Romani nonprofits and experts, will participate to the greatest extent possible in planning these investments,” the Commission has announced.

Romani people represent one of the largest national minorities living on European territory. According to estimates by the Council of Europe, between 10 and 12 million Roma live on the continent. So-called socially excluded localities represent a particularly big problem for them.

In the Czech Republic, estimates say there are more than 300 impoverished apartment complexes, neighborhoods or streets occupied by a total of approximately 80 000 people, most of them Romani. A World Bank study reports that the full integration of the Romani population could mean a benefit to the economies of the Member States of as much as EUR 500 million annually. “Romani integration must not be viewed as a cost, but as a social investment key to achieving the aims of the Europe 2020 strategy,” the Commission’s statement says.

France has been criticised for its poor treatment of the Romani population in recent years after it decided to intervene harshly against illegally-established Romani camps. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has also been criticized for his harsh words about people of Romani ethnicity. In a speech, Fico said members of national minorities and minority opinion-holders should pay more attention to their civic obligations and stop making demands of the state.

Mottó


„A cigány kultúrának intézményekre van szüksége...
Én ezt egy kulturális autonómia intézményrendszerén belül képzelem el, amely nem szavakból, hanem láncszemként egymáshoz kapcsolódó intézményekből állna.”

***

Részlet Orbán Viktornak  2008. április 11-én elhangzott beszédéből.
