Dedicated institutional attention to the issues of persons belonging to minorities in the context of hate speech is essential to prevent atrocities and reinforce unity and stability. The European Commission works with law enforcement and judicial authorities to provide guidance, best practices and training, including through targeted funding on compliance. The Fundamental Rights Agency focuses its work on monitoring hate crime trends and assisting Member States in improving data collection. Studies show that antigypsyism is one of the most commonly reported ground of hate speech. The European Commission put forward in October 2020 a new ten-year framework for the inclusion and participation of Roma, Europe’s largest ethnic minority, with minimum targets to be achieved by 2030 Furthermore, the European Commission agreed in 2016 with various social media platform upholders a “Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online” to help users notifying hate speech in these social platforms. According to regular monitoring activities carried out by the Commission, the Code has achieved fast progress in review and removal of content. The EU is also funding a large number of projects on online hate speech and runs different campaigns on the issue. Member States should support civil society in monitoring and reporting hate crimes and hate speech against Roma and assist victims in reporting hate crimes and hate speech. I thank you.
