ERRC submission to the European Commission on the Joint Inclusion Memorandum of Hungary (April 2004)

The European Roma Rights Center (ERRC) welcomes the publication of Hungary's Joint Inclusion Memorandum ("JIM") on matters relating to social inclusion. The ERRC believes that in a number of respects, the Hungarian JIM represents a valuable step forward in terms of government recognition of issues related to Roma in Hungary. It therefore is, we believe, an important basis for future policy, as Hungary moves in the coming months to prepare its first National Action Plan ("NAP") on social inclusion. The ERRC offers the following comments on Hungary's JIM, which we believe will be of use in preparing the first Hungarian NAP.
