On 15 December last year some MEPs have tabled a request to recognition by the EU for the genocide of the Roma and Sinti during World War II.
few days ago, February 2, 2011, at the opening plenary session of the European Parliament, the President Jerzy Buzek said that the Roma and Sinti were victims, like the Jews, an ethnic-based persecution during the Nazi era. Unfortunately, continued Buzek, not all European countries have officially recognized the Porrajmos. And many Europeans do not know the persecution of Sinti and Roma during the Nazi era. Therefore, according to the President, it is time that all European citizens know that the Roma and Sinti have suffered the trauma of genocide.
President Jerzy Buzek said that the Roma and Sinti are currently the largest and oldest ethnic minority in Europe but are also the most discriminated minority in Europe.
Education is the best way to combat discrimination, according to Buzek who closed his speech by saying that Parliament is the EU's voice in the struggle for human rights. Only by remembering the suffering that they endured, we understand the situation today.
Here is the text of which led to the recognition of Porrajmos and the names of MPs who have signed the question

The members of the Roma community are victims of discrimination and exclusion across Europe are regularly the target of comments and racist attacks, harassment by security forces Police and the denial of their fundamental rights as citizens. Discrimination against them is prevalent in all spheres of life, especially in education, employment, housing and health care.

In occupied Europe, although the fate of the Roma varied from country to country, were persecuted.
Some EU countries such as Germany in 1982, have already recognized the genocide of Roma during the Second World War. A similar act by the European Union would be a historic event for the members of this community and for Europe.
On January 27, 2011, will celebrate the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. This event represents an historic opportunity to remind citizens of the horrors of the Holocaust for all the victims of the Nazi regime.
The Council believes that the Roma have the right to see their troubled history of the common, recognized by the European Union? What plans do the Council for better understanding by the population of European history it shares with the Roma?
