On 25 February 2014, Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland and European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor announced plans to reinforce local authorities' efforts to overcome inequalities between Roma and non-Roma citizens in their municipalities. A new Council of Europe/European Commission programme (ROMACT) was launched in the countries of Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Romania. Presenting its programme on Roma inclusion, Hungary asked the European Commission to be more responsive to national circumstances regarding minorities, while EU officials called for legally-binding integration measures. |
