The Roma problem needs a pan-European answer

Given the French government's decision to deport illegal Roma back to their home countries, the weekly Tema proposes an alternative, European-wide approach: "The kinds of problems associated with the Roma are normally far from banal. But in their approach, the authorities are hiding behind arrogant and hypocritical excuses. That is how it is in Bulgaria, on both a regional and national level. And in France as well. ... This is why a pan-European debate about the Roma problem - which is increasingly a problem for the entire continent -  identifying the methods that work in various countries and consolidating resources, could launch a promising new approach. Otherwise nothing will change - we ship Roma back to Europe, and Europe sends them back to us. The problem with such journeys is that they don't go anywhere."
