Dear Minister,
I am pleased to invite you to the 12th meeting of the European Platform for Roma Inclusion
which will be held on 8-9 October 2018 in Brussels. This gathering of policy makers and
other stakeholders from across Europe provides for an opportunity to discuss on how to
advance the efforts in social and economic inclusion of the Roma people.
The thematic focus of this year's Platform meeting will be on inequalities endured by Roma in
the areas of health and housing, two out of four crucial areas of the EU Framework for
National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020 established in 2011 with a view to closing
the gaps between marginalised Roma communities and the general population and to which
all Member States have committed to.
I would very much appreciate if you will join me in the exchange of views on various factors
behind these inequalities as well as possible solutions. Please note that the political debate
with the participation of high level actors from both EU and national level will take place on 9
October at 14.00. I take this opportunity to invite you also to the special event celebrating
Roma culture and its contribution to the European cultural heritage which is scheduled for
evening of 8th October.
Should it not be possible for you to attend, I would very much appreciate if you can extend
the invitation to your colleague in charge of health or housing.
I am looking forward to receiving your response in coming weeks to the following e-mail
address: JUST-ROMA-PLATFORM@,ec.europa.eu. Detailed information related to the
agenda and venue will be provided in due time.
Thank you for your commitment and cooperation and I look forward to continuing working
closely with you.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Indrek SAAR
