EUROPE

Sumary
The presentation began with the general aspects of the continent, after it we saw some recent history in Europe or relevance as I and II world wars.
After it we learn about the important issues about the integration and economy, and saw some issues about the European Union. Then we analize important countries of Europe and analized in each of them the culture, general aspects and language. In other presentation we saw the changing borders in europe.

Question
¿Why is the Roma poverty a major issue to the European Union?
Now days the European Union's freedom of movement laws mean Eastern Europe's large population of Roma (Gypsies) is now spreading west. Roma make up as much as 10% of the population in Eastern Europe.
The effect of this influx on national economies, as well as the deep poverty of the European Union's Roma, are high on the agenda as the first summit on Roma integration within the EU begins in Brussels. Italy and Spain have received the most Roma, mainly from Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia, where they make up as much as 10% of the population. Italy has witnessed the most serious effects that are among others murders blamed on Roma, and revenge attacks by vigilante groups, followed by controversial government attempts to fingerprint Roma immigrants.
But some people dont know how how the EU could help, but perhaps they could start by pressurising national governments to implement their own declared policies in housing, employment and education.
Also in eastern Hungary poverty is so endemic, with the Roma blamed for widespread petty theft, that the head of the Hungarian Poultry Board recently complained that people are no longer raising hens in several counties.
Finally we can say that this is a big problem but if the EU make efforts to give a solution the problem will not become bigger, but the EU must know they have to act now.
