Ustawodawstwo Unii Europejskiej wobec mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych - casus romski

The legislation of the European Union towards national and ethnic minorities - the case of Roma The European Union is still in the stage of creating the system of protection of national and ethnic minorities. Attempts of the European Parliament to improve the situation in the European Union need research and reflection. Social integration is the most important plane guaranteeing European integration, which is the basis for the future functioning of the European Union. The European community, which will be characterized by a common identity, will not be made up of individual countries but nations retaining their own diversity. Despite many efforts of the European Union the situation of the Roma minority has not dramatically improved. The main reasons are insufficient actions by the European Union, corruption of officials, and lack of interest for the Roma community among the Member States. So far, the measures taken have not produced desired results, so it’s necessary to devote more attention to this issue. The European Union needs strong support from other EU institutions and civil society. The main problem that affects the Roma community is long and difficult road to integration and acceptance by the other citizens of the European Union. A common phenomenon is the reluctance to strangers who are victims of discrimination. Strongly rooted stereotypes, lack of tolerance for other cultures proves that even the best-designed programs, as well as initiatives from the European Union are not sufficient. First of all, there is a need for commitment and unforced intercultural education from both the Roma and the rest of society, which will lead to mutual respect for differences. The phenomenon of social exclusion of the Roma minority is often related to their lifestyle, habits and patterns different from the rest of the society. Help which is offered by the European Union and the Member States is generally perceived as an attempt to breach the culture of the Roma minority and replace it with another. That is why the European Union should develop a range of mechanisms and measures that may be accepted by the Roma. Ustawodawstwo Unii Europejskiej wobec mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych - casus romski Unia Europejska znajduje sie dopiero na etapie tworzenia systemu ochrony mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych, jednak niezbedne bedzie podjecie wielu staran, debat oraz dzialan, w ktore koniecznie zaangazowane muszą byc wszystkie panstwa czlonkowskie. Proby podejmowane przez Parlament Europejski w celu poprawy sytuacji mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych w Unii Europejskiej mogą byc odpowiednim impulsem do wstepnych refleksji. Pomimo wielu staran Unii Europejskiej oraz wykorzystania funduszy unijnych sytuacja mniejszości romskiej nie ulegla duzej poprawie. Glownymi przyczynami są niedostateczne dzialania ze strony Unii Europejskiej, korupcja urzednikow, a takze brak zainteresowania spolecznością romską panstw czlonkowskich. Dotychczas podjete dzialania nie przyniosly zamierzonych rezultatow, dlatego konieczne jest poświecenie wiekszej uwagi tej kwestii. Unia Europejska potrzebuje mocnego wsparcia innych instytucji unijnych oraz spoleczenstwa obywatelskiego.
