Pastural (2014) reports \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2013 on the occasion of the European free movement of workers with Romania and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBulgaria since January 2014 \u2013 about possible improvements in the access of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma to the French labour market. However, this is not the case. The access to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe labour market for the low-skilled Rroma workers remains very difficult: \u201cFull of experience as a result of working \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin agriculture or construction in Greece and Italy, Ionut Nica waited \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timpatiently for the end of the transitional arrangements, towards the access of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRomanian nationals to the labour market of the Schengen area. Since January \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2014, Ionut has the right to work. \u201cThere was a tremendous hope on the part of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMr. Nica, who expected this splendid date of the month of January as if it \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twould change his whole life\u201d, laments Florence Marrand, social worker at the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmedical-social establishment of the Conseil g\u00e9n\u00e9ral of Puy-de-D\u00f4me, who advises \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIonut Nica regularly for a little over one year. \u201cToday, he is deeply \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdisappointed. Certainly, he was able to enrol at the job centre, he could enrol \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tat the work-assistant mission, he was able to answers vacancies. But nothing has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tchanged specifically, absolutely nothing…\u201c<\/em> It is to hope that Pastural is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twrong with his portrayal of two individual cases, and the inclusion of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigrant Rroma into the labour market will enhance. At the latest, when the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teffects of the economic crisis are finally gone. One problem is, according to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPastural, the lack of resources to improve ones qualifications, and thus the appeal \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor the labour market.<\/p>\n
