Roma campaigners dismiss Brussels' claim on evictions and expulsions - France and Italy among member states still breaking up camps and deporting EU citizens contrary to announcement, NGOs say (Guardian, link): "Victoria Vasey, the legal director for the Hungary-based European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC), warned: "Expulsions are still primarily occurring in France and Italy. Expulsions continue in Germany as well, but this tends to be of Kosovan Roma citizens, and as such are not covered by EU law. "The statement from the commission today celebrating its strategies is obviously quite different from what is happening on the ground," she continued. "Contrary to their claims of combatting expulsion, this hasn't happened. There has been little effort so far.""
