UEFA encroaches on image rights
The regional daily La Tribune de Génèva criticises UEFA's censorship practices in the Euro 2008: "In Austria, as in Switzerland, the directors of the public broadcasters are revolting against UEFA's decision to censor the transmission of certain images during the games. For instance, in the game between Austria and Croatia viewers did not see the smoke. UEFA claims it does not want to glorify violence and wants to protect its image. But the opposite is happening. It comes across as an all-powerful world company that can get away with anything because it generates feelings of euphoria and distraction from everyday worries for millions of viewers. ... By dictating the scenography it is imposing its image of the game and society on everyone."

The difficulty of integrating the Roma in Romania
In the lead-up to the International day of the Roma, celebrated April 8th, Emmanuel Drevon decries the living conditions of these people in Romania, which has Europe's largest Roma population. "The government, conscious of the issues and international pressure, isn't skimping on the initiatives to better integrate a population that has for a long time been considered nomadic, but today has largely settled. Despite these efforts, however, the Roma's situation is far from being resolved. ... It's a paradox in a country that multiplies the helping hands offered to the Roma, when persistent rumours amongst the Romanians reinforce the idea that this integration is nothing more than a ploy, a waste of time and money. What's more, this occurs against the wishes of the community. But everyone congratulates their recent entry into the EU. The Roma question should now be considered even more seriously. Romania is cognisant of the difficulty of resolving this problem alone."
