Priority question for written answer P-001703/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Silvia Sardone (PfE)
Roma people are the largest ethnic minority in Europe. Of the 10 to 12 million Roma living in Europe, around 6 million are EU citizens. On 9 January 2023, the Commission adopted an assessment of the Member States’ strategic frameworks for the equality, inclusion, and participation of Roma people for the 2020-2030 period. It identifies shortcomings in Member States’ strategies, such as failures to budget properly for the implementation of strategies to address segregation in education and housing. The EU has also promoted numerous projects and programmes over the years to facilitate access to employment (especially for women) and combat anti-Gypsyism, and supported studies run by European universities to trace the history of nomadic peoples.
In view of the above:
- 1.How much money has been allocated to Roma integration since 2020 and what results have been achieved?
- 2.What projects at European universities on the history of nomadic peoples have received funding through the Commission, and how much in each case?
