It was announced on the 29 September 2010 that France would not face disciplinary action from Brussels over its deportation of Roma migrants, delivering a political victory to Paris after a public row with the European Commission. The Commission did not rule out future action against France and said it would continue to seek 'clarifications' from Paris on elements of its policy. France could still face a rebuke from the Commission for failing to properly transpose a 2004 European law on internal migration on to its own statute books, along with other EU countries. It would be the first time a member state faced action on elements relating to internal migration. Subsequently, France moved to adapt its immigration rules in mid-October 2010 just days before the EU ultimatum ran out that could have dragged Paris before the courts over its controversial expulsion of Roma people. |
