9 EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies in April 2011 Commission decision of September 29 Based on the ten basic principles for Roma inclusion The EU Framework will seek to ensure a more efficient monitoring of and support to national and European efforts with regard to Roma integration To that end, and in the frame of the Europe 2020 Strategy, the Commission will invite Member States to present their own national strategies for the inclusion of Roma which could feature in their national reform programmes. The forthcoming flagship initiative on a "Platform against poverty" will constitute an integrated framework of actions to support horizontal priorities The European Commission also expects Member States to be explicit and ambitious about Roma when setting their national Europe 2020 targets in the fields of poverty reduction, employment and education. 9

15 Impact of the crisis Expected GDP growth for 2010 remains modest Unemployment > 10% and expected to stay high Social expenditure (social protection, education and health) ~ 70% of public expenditure in EU Social protection > 40% of public expenditure Fiscal consolidation will affect social expenditure: a challenge for social polices aimed at addressing poverty and exclusion The social situation is likely to further deteriorate and poverty is likely to increase. 15
