    \n
  1. whereas Roma are still being deprived of their human rights in Europe;<\/li>\n
  2. whereas Roma are part of Europe\u2019s culture and values and they have contributed to the cultural richness, diversity, economy and common history of the EU;<\/li>\n
  3. whereas \u2018anti-Gypsyism is a specific form of racism, an ideology founded on racial superiority, a form of dehumanisation and institutional racism nurtured by historical discrimination, which is expressed, among others, by violence, hate speech, exploitation, stigmatisation and the most blatant kind of discrimination\u2019;[8]<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. whereas, despite efforts at national, European and international level, persistent and structural anti-Gypsyism[9]<\/a> can be detected at all levels of European society throughout all of Europe on a daily basis, manifesting itself, e.g. in individual and institutional neglect, discrimination, inequality, disempowerment, belittling, othering and scapegoating, stigmatisation, hate speech, and making them into victims of violence, extreme poverty and profound social exclusion; whereas anti-Gypsyism is on the rise and political parties gain in popularity by expressing flagrantly anti-Roma sentiments;<\/li>\n
  5. whereas different forms of anti-Gypsyism can be identified in the work and workings of public authorities and institutions in almost all spheres and at all levels in the Member States, manifesting itself most commonly in the failure to provide Roma with equal access or any access to public utilities and services, their denial of equal rights and equal treatment, the omission of Roma people from policy-making and knowledge-production processes, their underrepresentation in official bodies at all levels of society, the creation of discriminative programmes and the misuse of funding opportunities for improving the lives of Roma;<\/li>\n
  6. whereas inadvertent anti-Gypsyism can even be observed in the workings of the EU institutions, as numerous EU programmes and funds that could have a positive impact on the living conditions and life prospects of Roma do not reach them, or they symbolically designate the Roma as one of their beneficiaries, but do not take into account their realities and the discrimination they face;<\/li>\n
  7. whereas anti-Gypsyism, however unconscious it might be, can be revealed in the EU acquis<\/em>, which often fails to take into consideration the realities and challenges of Roma, who, due to their having been subject to multiple discrimination for centuries, are unable to enjoy the same rights and opportunities, and the same level of protection provided by the EU acquis<\/em> to other EU citizens;<\/li>\n
  8. whereas there is a persistent paternalistic treatment of Roma detectable both in language and actions in our society, only stressing the need for Roma \u2018inclusion\u2019 or \u2018integration\u2019, when, in fact, what is needed is a fundamental shift in approach; whereas their access to and full enjoyment of their fundamental rights and citizenship in our society needs to be ensured;<\/li>\n
  9. whereas Roma are continually referred to as a vulnerable people, when, in fact, depriving Roma of their inalienable human rights and denying them equal treatment and access to welfare, services, information, justice, education, healthcare, employment, etc. suggest that it is the structures established and maintained by those in power that are discriminatory, that render Roma vulnerable; whereas this demonstrates that the relevant authorities have ignored their human rights responsibilities;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Belonging and participating <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Stresses that in order to fight against the subconscious societal consensus to exclude Roma, to combat their discrimination and social exclusion, and in order to tear down stereotypes created and reinforced through popular literature, the media, the arts and language through centuries, it is essential to educate mainstream societies about the diversity of Roma, their history, culture, and the forms, extent and severity of the anti-Gypsyism that they face in their everyday lives; calls on Member States, in this context, to take full responsibility for their Roma citizens and launch long-term awareness-raising and intersectional sensitisation campaigns;<\/li>\n
    2. Considers active and meaningful social, economic, political and cultural participation by Roma as key to tackling anti-Gypsyism effectively and creating much-needed mutual trust for the benefit of the whole of society; notes the joint responsibility of the Commission and the Member States in this regard; calls, therefore, on the Commission and the Member States to design strategies featuring both proactive and reactive measures on the basis of real, systematic consultations with Roma representatives and NGOs, and to involve them in the running, monitoring and evaluation of mainstream programmes and projects launched at all levels, including at the local level; calls on the Commission and the Member States to promote the establishment of independent Roma civil organisations and public institutions and the empowerment of a young, progressive Roma leadership;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Reconciling and building trust <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Urges the Commission, for the sake of creating essential mutual trust, to set up a truth and reconciliation commission at EU level (either within existing structures or as a separate body) to acknowledge the persecution, exclusion and disownment of Roma throughout the centuries, to document these in an official white paper and to engage with European Parliament and Roma experts in carrying out these tasks;<\/li>\n
      2. Calls on Member States to create (either within existing structures or as a separate body) national truth and reconciliation commissions in order to acknowledge the persecution, exclusion and disownment of Roma through the centuries while involving members of parliament, government officials, lawyers, Roma representatives, NGOs and grassroots organisations, to document these issues in an official white paper, and encourages Member States to make the history of Roma part of the curricula in schools;<\/li>\n
      3. Calls on the Member States to commemorate the victims of the Roma Holocaust, to mark 2 August as Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, and to grant appropriate, immediate restitution to living Holocaust survivors through a simplified procedure, accompanied by an awareness-raising campaign; calls on the Commission and the Member States to include Roma victims in their commemorations held on 27 January each year to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day and to organise voluntary training courses for civil servants on the Roma Holocaust;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Carrying out performance checks <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Expresses its concern that, while several targeted programmes are being implemented in the Member States, most mainstream programmes, including those covered by Structural Funds, fail to reach out to the most disadvantaged, in particular the Roma; calls, therefore, on the Court of Auditors to check the performance of EU programmes, such as the EU\u2019s employment and education programmes, e.g. Erasmus+ and the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI), in a more thorough manner and on a regular basis;<\/li>\n
        2. Calls on the Commission to:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 assess EU programmes and funding opportunities to determine if they meet the requirement of non-discrimination and participation, and where necessary, to take corrective measures without delay,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 apply a robust, quality-focused and long-term monitoring and financial accountancy scheme to check the performance of Member States when using EU programmes,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 actively involve the Roma addressees of the projects in their monitoring and evaluation process in an effective and transparent manner,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ensure that the existing complaint mechanism is made more accessible and transparent for residents, NGOs and authorities to enable them to report discriminatory EU funds and programmes,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 suspend funding in cases of misuse of EU funds,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 reform ESIF so that they provide financial support for the fight against anti-Gypsyism in a more proactive way, and,<\/p>\n

          \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 extend the Europe for Citizens and the Rights, Equality and Citizenship funding programmes recognising the important role of civil society watchdog organisations and other relevant stakeholders in monitoring anti-Gypsyism and ensuring respect for fundamental rights;<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ensure that the relevant interventions financed by the EU with possible implications for the Roma community are inclusive and fight segregation,<\/p>\n

            \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ensure that segregation practices are clearly described and explicitly excluded from funding,<\/p>\n

            \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 improve funding opportunities in order to ensure that the education and employment opportunities created provide a real and sustainable way out of long-term unemployment, which is necessary in order to live with dignity,<\/p>\n

            \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ensure that all available resources are used effectively, and,<\/p>\n

            \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 increase the absorption rate of EU funds in line with the priorities established in the National Roma Integration Strategies;<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Calls on the Member States to increase coordination among local and national authorities to eliminate administrative and political obstacles, and\u00a0effectively use the EU funds to improve the situation of Roma people, in particular children;<\/li>\n
            2. Recalls the 2013 Council Recommendation stating that the promotion of social inclusion, and combating poverty and discrimination, including, inter alia, the socio-economic integration of marginalised communities such as Roma, should be facilitated by the allocation of at least 20\u00a0% of the total ESF resources in each Member State to investment in people;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Securing equal rights and fighting anti-Gypsyism through training <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Recalls that minority rights and the prohibition of discrimination form an integral part of fundamental rights, and, as such, fall within the scope of the EU values to be respected in accordance with Article 2 TEU; recalls that action can be taken by the EU if there is a clear risk of a serious breach by a Member State of those values in accordance with Article 7 TEU; supports the adoption of a strong monitoring and sanctioning mechanism to ensure compliance with fundamental rights standards that will strongly benefit Roma by combating meaningfully manifestations of anti-Gypsyism and violations of their fundamental rights;<\/li>\n

Is deeply concerned about widespread discrimination against Roma in the field of housing characterised by a discriminatory rental and property ownership market and social housing system, forced evictions and demolitions of the homes of Roma without the provision of adequate alternative housing, the placement of Roma in segregated camps and emergency shelters cut off from basic services, the erection of walls around Roma settlements, and the failure of public authorities to secure Roma people’s full access to daily potable tap water and to sewage systems;<\/li>\n
                      3. Calls on Member States to take effective measures to ensure equal treatment of Roma in access to housing, and to make full use of EU funds to improve the housing situation of Roma, in particular by promoting desegregation, eliminating any spatial segregation, by promoting community-led local development and integrated territorial investment supported by ESIF and also through a consistent policy on public housing; urges the Member States to ensure access to public utilities, such as water, electricity and gas, and infrastructure for housing in compliance with national legal requirements;<\/li>\n

                      6. Deplores continuing school segregation, including the overrepresentation of Roma children in \u2018special schools\u2019, Roma-only schools, separate classes, \u2018container schools\u2019, etc.; calls on Member States to draw up and take specific school desegregation and other effective measures to ensure equal treatment and full access for Roma children to high quality and mainstream education, and to ensure that all Roma children complete at least compulsory education; highlights, in this regard, the importance of exploring the reasons for early school drop-out, in particular the role of anti-Gypsyism in this phenomenon; encourages, furthermore, the Member States to explore new ways of closing the existing educational gap through adult learning, vocational education and training, and informal and non-formal learning; insists that this should be done while paying attention also to intersectional discrimination, with the involvement of Roma experts and school mediators, and ensuring adequate resources for such measures;<\/li>\n
                      7. Considers the discrimination of Roma in the field of employment, most often characterised by long-term unemployment, zero-hour contracts, precarious employment conditions lacking medical and social insurance or pensions, labour market barriers (which exist even for Roma with tertiary education) and the lack of re-training possibilities, alarming and unacceptable; urges, therefore, the Member States to take effective measures to ensure the equal treatment of Roma in access to the labour market and to employment opportunities, and to dismantle direct and indirect barriers, including discrimination;<\/li>\n

                      10. Condemns multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination of Roma, which are often hidden or covert; stresses that policies targeting one ground of discrimination should pay attention to the situation of specific groups that are likely to be victims of multiple discrimination; urges the Commission and Member States to pay special attention to improving educational attainment, participation, access to employment, housing, healthcare and to the prevention of discrimination in case of Roma facing multiple and intersectional discrimination, and to include specific programmes for them in the EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies after 2020;<\/li>\n
                      11.

                      12. Calls on the Member States to ensure that a specific chapter on women\u2019s rights and gender equality is included in their National Roma Integration Strategies (NRISs), and that gender mainstreaming measures aimed at promoting women\u2019s rights and the gender equality perspective are applied in each section thereof, in particular in the allocation of funds, in line with the Council conclusions on an EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies which \u2018demand a gender perspective to be applied in all policies and actions for advancing Roma inclusion\u2019; calls on Member State governments and local authorities to involve Roma women in the preparation, implementation, evaluation and monitoring of the NRISs; emphasises the need for gender-disaggregated data to be systematically collected and regularly analysed, and calls on the Commission and the Member States to assess whether policies are achieving the desired improvements for Roma women and girls, and to take action if there is a lack of progress; calls on the Commission to support the promotion of gender equality in the implementation of all aspects of the Europe 2020 strategy in line with the Strategy for equality between women and men 2010-2015;<\/li>\n
                      13.

                      17. Is concerned about the low level of participation of Roma people as interlocutors with or seated representatives of local, regional and national governments and the failure of governments to guarantee their exercise of full citizenship; recognises the crucial role of civil society in this respect; calls for broader cooperation among the national and local authorities concerned, the EU, the Council of Europe and NGOs; encourages EU and Member States\u2019 institutions and political parties to actively promote the political participation and empowerment of Roma and their recruitment into public administrations; calls for Roma empowerment programmes, including those aimed at increasing and ensuring the long-term participation of Roma from an intersectional perspective as representatives of local, regional and national governments; calls for the Commission and the Member States to take action to ensure that Roma women\u2019s participation in policy and decision-making is enhanced;<\/li>\n
                      18. Calls on Member States to provide mandatory, practical and intersectional fundamental rights and non-discrimination-related training courses for all public officials, who are duty bearers and key to the correct implementation of EU and Member State legislation, in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to serve all citizens from a human rights-based approach;<\/li>\n
                      19. Calls on Member States, given the power of the media in influencing the perception of ethnic minorities by the public to:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          \n
                        1. Encourages, in order to successfully stop the perpetuation of anti-Gypsyism, Member States to include mandatory human rights, democratic citizenship and political literacy training courses in their school curricula at all levels in order to end Roma people\u2019s identity insecurity, strengthen their self-confidence and ability to exercise and demand their equal rights;<\/li>\n
                        2. Is deeply concerned by cuts in the public sector, which have dramatically affected the activities of both the state and state-funded NGOs to promote equality for Roma people and limited the reach of these projects; stresses that the state and its institutions have a fundamental role in promoting equality, which cannot be substituted;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
