CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - Roma Rights 1/09: EU Roma Policy

The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) is seeking articles and other
submissions (book reviews, interview with key figures and conference
reports) from a broad range of disciplines addressing the adoption and
implementation of a framework policy on Roma at the EU level. Articles
offering critical insight to lessons learned in similar processes in other
fields, as well as submissions reflecting the perspective of the grassroots
Roma movement, are particularly welcome.

At a time when human rights abuse of Roma is becoming increasingly dramatic
in Europe, the European Union remains without an integrated and
comprehensive policy framework specifically addressing this marginalized
group, and many EU Member States do not have national policies to improve
the situation of Roma. During the 8 December 2008 General Affairs Council
meeting, European Union leaders called on the European Commission and EU
Member States to take account of the situation of the Roma when designing
and implementing policies, to make better use of Structural and other Funds
and to organise an exchange of good practice and experience in the context
of an integrated European platform.  However, this stops short of a
commitment to develop a framework policy to address issues impeding the
human development of persons of Roma origin.

In this issue of Roma Rights, ERRC seeks submissions which reflect on and
seek to provide answers to questions like:

*	Is there a need for an EU Roma Policy, or is it possible to
mainstream Roma concerns in other EU policy processes to a great enough
degree to address the needs of this community? 

*	How should an EU Roma Policy be formulated, endorsed and/or
enforced? How should this process relate to the "integrated European
platform"? How should the competencies of the EU and the Members States be
reflected? 

*	What should be the content of such a Policy?  

*	What experience and lessons from the development of EU policy in
other fields, such as gender, can be utilised in the development of an EU
Roma Policy? 

*	What role is there for the grassroots Roma movement in the
formulation an EU Roma Policy? 

*	How should an EU Roma Policy relate to the Decade of Roma Inclusion
and other intergovernmental policy structures dealing with Roma issues? 

*	What influence/change could an EU Roma Policy have on how the EU
addresses the situation of Roma in its external relations with non-EU
countries? 

*	Is there a business case for the development of an EU Roma Policy? 

*	Can provisions on positive action in the Race Equality Directive
provide a basis for the development of an EU Roma Policy? 

*	Would an EU Roma Policy positively influence the daily life of
Romani individuals and/or communities? 

Submissions addressing the theme from other perspectives are also welcome.

Full articles and a maximum 300 word abstract must be submitted to the ERRC
by 15 March 2009. All submissions will be reviewed by a committee of ERRC
staff who will make the final selection of articles for publication.
