07 April 2010

The second European Summit on Roma inclusion will take place in Córdoba (Spain), on the 8th and 9th April 2010, on the occasion of the International Roma Day, as a key event of the Spanish Presidency of the Council.

The summit is an important step in the process to address the problems facing the Roma. Organised by the European Commission and the Spanish EU Presidency, it brings together representatives of the EU institutions, Member States, international organisations and Roma civil society.

Debates will build upon the last developments of the Roma issue at European level, in particular the outputs from the two meetings of the European Platform for Roma inclusion and the 10 Common Basic Principles for Roma inclusion annexed to the EPSCO Council Conclusions of June 2009.
