Protecting Roma Inclusion in the Next EU Budget
2 May 2025 English Recommendation paper
Summary
This is ERGO Network's policy paper on the EU's next long-term budget (MFF 2028–2034), warning that the Commission's proposal drops binding partnership rules and never names Roma explicitly, risking their exclusion from funding. It calls for restoring Roma civil society's legal seat at the table and ring-fencing the budget's social spending target for Roma-specific needs.
