Key points
The EESC:
- emphasises that from now, instead of developing strategies for the Roma and carrying out analyses on them, specific measures must be developed together with the Roma;
- is ready, within the limits of its competences, to participate in such measures or to take its own initiatives in close cooperation with Roma organisations;
- will develop its relations with institutions, organisations and other bodies active in this field;
- sees intercultural dialogue as a suitable instrument to achieve integration, or inclusion, of the Roma, with regard both to the role played by Roma women in this process and to education.
