Conference on Roma access to political participation - European Parliament - Brussels, 16 April 2009

This morning a conference on Roma access to political participation was held at the EP. Organised by the European Roma Information Office (ERIO) and hosted by MEP Jan Marinus Wiersma, this conference will seek to overcome the barriers that prevent Roma from from acess the decision-making process and to encourage European leaders to promote Roma political participation at European and national levels.

FOR THE FIRST TIME ROMANES WILL BE THE WORKING LANGUAGE IN A CONFERENCE AT THE EP

"In an ideal world, 24 of the 785 members of the European Parliament should come from the Roma community. However, this is very far from reality."
