It concerns the insufficiency of stopping places, problems stemming from the non recognition of caravans as a home; lack of respect of the required conditions when carrying out evictions, lack of a global and coordinated policy to combat poverty and social exclusion of Travellers, among other issues. These allegations concern Article 16 (the right of the family to social, legal and economic protection) and 30 (right to protection against poverty and social exclusion) of the Revised European Social Charter as well as the non discrimination clause (Article E).
