On the eve of the EU’s first "Roma Summit", the EU Roma Policy Coalition urges for a long-term strategy. "Enough time has passed, there needs to be a framework with objectives and deadlines," say Coalition members. They call on the EU Presidency to formally endorse such commitments at the December European Council. The ERPC also remains concerned with the Commission’s response to the census of Roma in Italy.
Round & round with the Roma

Budapest Times
The Olaszliszka tragedy in 2006 was a clear signal that tensions in Hungary between Roma and non-Roma require immediate attention, the Centre for Fair Political Analysis argues.

Sinti Leader: Racism, Discrimination Remain Problems for Europe
2008-08-11
·
Deutsche Welle
An interview with Romani Rose, the head of the German Central Council for Sinti and Roma. He has fought for official recognition of the Sinti and Roma suffering under the Nazi government; thirteen of his family members were murdered in death camps. He says not enough is being done to root out the causes of prejudice in Europe, and that many Sinti and Roma integrate by denying their ethnicity.
