ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY AND THE ROMA: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF EU ENLARGEMENT
Melanie Ram
Sažetak
This article assesses the impact of the European Union’s anti-discrimination
policy on the Roma, with a focus on the 2000 Race Equality Directive and post-2004
enlargement developments. It explores the recent expansion of EU attention and action
regarding discrimination and the Roma and then considers the direct and indirect results
in terms of new national legislation and institutions in old and new Member States, Roma
discrimination cases in national and international courts, public views on the Roma and
discrimination, and changes in the actual situation of this minority. Overall, I find
importantly a significant increase in interest, attention, and action by the EU regarding
the Roma, gradual but important changes by governments of Member States, yet
continuing discrimination, and ultimately little impact as yet on the lives of most Roma.
