answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2016 answer text <p>EU sanctions have been imposed on Russia for its illegal annexation of Crimea and ongoing aggression and destabilisation of eastern Ukraine. The UK Government supports human rights defenders and holds the Russian Government to account, publicly and privately, when it fails to fulfil its international commitments to promote and protect human rights. For these reasons Russia also featured as a Priority Country in the annual FCO Human Rights Report released in April 2016. I also raised human rights issues with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Titov on my last visit to Moscow in December 2015.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 09/05/2016 13:22:47 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2016 answer text We closely follow the treatment of the Roma Community in Romania. The UK condemns discrimination in all its forms and has on numerous occasions discussed this issue with the Romanian government. The UK was represented at the Romanian Government's Inter-Ministerial Committee responsible for monitoring the National Strategy for Roma Inclusion on 21 March. On 12 April the British Ambassador to Romania issued a public statement regarding discrimination against the Roma community, following acts of vandalism at the National Centre for Roma Culture's tent at the University Square. We continue to urge the Romanian government to take all necessary measures to ensure that all its citizens can fully enjoy their rights. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 06/05/2016 13:33:38 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
