Romani CRISS complained that within the Auto High School, the pupils of Roma origin were separated from the majority pupils. In the same regard it emphasizes the non-involvement of teachers who lecture in classes composed only of Roma pupils, which is why Roma children don't know how to write and read. The defendant argued that in the school there are no classes formed on the ethnic criterion. Analyzing the issues raised by the petitioner, the Committee found that in the structure of the school year there were two classes made up exclusively on the criterion of ethnic affiliation. This is a form of discrimination, in terms of setting up and maintaining classes composed of children of certain ethnic origin. Through decision no. 103 of 25.05.2007, the Committee set down that the notified deeds regarding the maintenance of separate classes is direct discrimination and it recommended that the management of the school and School Inspectorate adopt the required measures so that the desegregation process ends as rapidly as possible.

Personal dignity. The Institute for Public Policies complained about the fact that on the websites of newspapers Adevărul and Cotidianul the readers were allowed to post insulting comments against the Roma ethnic group, in response to certain articles published by the two newspapers. The publications endeavoured to eliminate messages with insulting content and introduced filters to eliminate certain phrases like: crows, bozgor (i.e. jargon for Hungarian), Jew, filthy Jew, etc. Through decision no. 300 of 15.08.2007, the Committee set down that the opinions expressed and posted on the forums of newspapers Adevărul and Cotidianul have a discriminatory (direct) nature and it recommended that the management of the two publications endeavour to ban the posting of such RO - Piaţa Valter Mărăcineanu 1-3, sector 1, Bucureşti, Tel / fax 021-312.65.78/79/85 43 „building trust in human rights” www.cncd.org.ro  „protecţie efectivă a drepturilor omului” comments (art. 2 par. 1 of G.O. no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination, republished). 165. Access to goods and services. Prohibition. Instruction to discriminate. Ethnic origin. Roma. Romani CRISS complained about the fact that a group of persons of Roma origin was denied access in a discotheque. A group of five young Roma with a dark complexion and another two persons, also of Roma origin, but with a pale complexion wanted to enter into Bavaria club. The first group was stopped by the security personnel who told 5 young men that they cannot enter and asked their student cards. The two persons with a pale complexion entered into the discotheque without being requested to submit the student cards. As the members of the first group insisted to find the reason why their access is not allowed, the security personnel specified that "the owner supports racial hatred". Asking if this means that the Gypsies are not allowed to enter, the answer was affirmative. The Committee retained the breach of access to the public places due to affiliation with the Roma ethnic group, through the prohibition the Roma group was subjected to in comparison to the other youngsters, generating a disadvantageous situation. The differentiation was not objectively justified by a legitimate aim and the criterion on which it was based was ethnic affiliation. Through decision no. 307 of 28.09.2007, the Committee decided that the notified deeds are direct discrimination and it decided to sanction the defendant by warning (art. 2 par. 1, art. 10 and art. 14 of G.O. no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination, republished). 166. Education. Segregation. Ethnic origin. Roma. Romani CRISS complained about the fact that within the high school, R., the Roma origin pupils were separated from the majority ones.

Subsequently, in the school years 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 the establishment of classes only for Roma children was continued and 3 rooms were arranged for each class and a room for the kindergarten room. School no. 3 was merged in September 2006 with High School R and was administered by the latter. For pedagogical reasons and of peculiarity of children concerned, differences from educational, cultural perspectives, due to the principle of continuity in the class, the management of the school, in agreement with the teachers of the school decided that pupils of Roma origin of classes II, III and IV remain in their initial classes until the end of the primary cycle. The Committee set down the specific regulations of the Ministry of Educations that forbade the segregation of Roma children. It set down that in analyzing some specific situations, such as those regarding Roma pupils, one must take into account the specific interests of children, the educational process and non-discrimination principles. In this regard, it must be ensured a fair balance between the interests of the school and those of the pupils, but pedagogical or continuity principles should not separate children of a certain ethnical origin, but ensure effective equality in the educational process. Through decision no. 338 of 03.09.2007, the Committee set down that the notified deeds, in this case the establishment of separate classes, their maintenance and displacement in the same structure in terms of ethnical composition, as regards the effect created assume a discriminatory treatment. The Committee recommended that the defendants endeavour to prevent and eliminate segregation according to the Order of the Minister of Education no. 1540 of 19 July 2007 regarding the prohibition of school segregation of Roma children (art. 2 par. 1 of G.O. no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination, republished). 167.

Through decision no. 396 of 12.11.2007, the Committee set down that the notified deeds constitute indirect discrimination and it recommended the assignment of a proper space in order to carry out the trade activity for the Roma citizens (art. 2 par. 3, par. 4 in conjunction with art. 2 par. 1 of G.O. no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination, republished). 168.

The petitioners considered that the defendant developed two ideas, namely that crime is a defining feature of the Roma ethnic group and that the use of violence against Roma is the solution to this problem. The author of the article stated that he did not discriminate anyone, considering that only education, decency and common sense could save the Roma from the troubled image they have among the majority population.

I'll tell you how we stay, I don't want to destroy here Madame, let's organize something organized (...), not with seeds and football (…)”. The Committee retained that the attitude of the defendant was based on a stereotype perception associated with the Roma ethnic group, with an obvious negative connotation related to a certain reprehensible behaviour extended to the whole community.
