Paragraph 2
2. Recognises that, in times of demographic change, the Roma population, which has been part of our common heritage for centuries, should be given the means through good quality education, decent housing and job opportunities to fully integrate the work place and contribute to economic development as foreseen in the EU 2020 strategy; calls on the Member States, therefore, to increase their efforts now, by reinforcing their effective strategies for addressing the specific circumstances (deep poverty, lack of education, poor health conditions) of marginalised communities, in order to ensure their social and economic integration;make an important step and an imperative in the effort to combat social exclusion of the Roma population and contribute to further integration in all EU Member States.

Paragraph 4
4. Emphasises the opportunity created through the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 437/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 20101 , providing up to 3% of the ERDF allocation to specific programmes or 2% of the overall allocated budget for the rehabilitation of housing for the benefit of marginalised communities; regrets that until now no operational plans have been changed by reprioritization for housing of the Roma population, calls on the Member States, furthermore, to make quick and full use of this new possibility within the framework of the Structural Funds, in order to strengthen the prospects of effective social inclusion; calls on the Commission to come forward with a specific action plan on this regulation to speed up the use of the funds.
Amendment 41 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recommends Member States to consider making the allocation of new housing to marginalised communities conditional on social commitments on their part, such as appropriate participation in the process of building the new establishments, obligatory school attendance for children, and the acceptance of jobs offered by job mediators, in order to ensure their real, effective and sustainable integration; this way Member States can substantially contribute to providing a concrete solution for the location needs of marginalised groups that live in deteriorated housing conditions.
