The Portuguese government announced plans at the municipal level to better integrate its Rroma minority. According to a EU survey of Rroma in Europe, also conducted in Portugal, 71 percent of Rroma in that country suffered discrimination within the past five years, and 47 percent in the 12 months preceding the study. This is one of the worst results of the countries surveyed.
