socially excluded groups in Europe. Its aim is to provide an informal
framework for exchanging information and coordinating activities among
international actors dealing with Roma, Sinti and Traveller issues. It meets
every six months under the chairmanship of the country having the presidency
of the European Union. The last meeting was held in December 2008, under the
