The problems of anti-Gypsyism, anti-Roma racism, segregation and discrimination in the EU still exist, said Commissioner Daly.
The European Commission adopted the evaluation of the national strategies for the Roma, which is part of its plan for the period 2020-2030. when it comes to equality, inclusion and participation of Roma in the EU.
In October 2020, the Commission presented a ten-year plan to improve the living conditions of Roma in the EU and support their integration into society. The new strategic framework takes the same holistic approach as before, but has been expanded to include equity, inclusion and participation.
Unlike the previous rounds of enlargement, the integration of the Roma is one of the conditions that the candidate countries have to fulfill for joining the EU.
