Book excerpt: For the first time, the French government has succeeded in creating a national strategy that complies with both French national interests as well as the requests of the European Commission. It has used inputs from Roma civil society. No official evaluation of the previous strategy has taken place that could have provided more specific guidance regarding lessons learned. Despite this, noticeable improvements have taken place. Within the new National Roma Strategic Framework (NRSF), the former approach of emphasising national security, forced evictions, and the destruction of slums, which affects migrant Roma from Romania and Bulgaria, has been replaced with one that focuses on social inclusion. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same regarding the Gens du Voyage, in relation to whom national security concerns seem to remain an obstruction with respect to enforcing the law on stopping places.
