Around 6m Roma, or about half of the estimated Roma population in Europe, live in the European Union. Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary are the Member States with the highest percentages of Roma within their populations. International Roma Day, which falls on 8 April 2016, provides an opportunity to discuss the situation of Roma, the largest ethnic minority in Europe. This is an updated version of a note published for the April 2015 plenary session.
