The European Commission report on Rroma integration calls for renewed efforts towards this goal. The First Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, is quoted saying: “Roma are part of our societies, and they are part of Europe. This report comes as a timely reminder for Member States to show more political determination and implement their commitments to integrate Europe’s Roma communities. Member States should use to the full the relevant policy, legal and financial tools to ensure equal opportunities and Roma inclusion.”
