The complaint was registered on 18 September 2023. It concerns Articles 16 (the right of the family to social, legal and economic protection), 30 (the right to protection against poverty and social exclusion) and 31 (the right to housing) and Article E (non-discrimination) in conjunction with each of the concerned provisions of the revised European Social Charter. The complainant organisation alleges that France, through the imposition of fixed fines for illegal halting to set up a home even temporarily, failed to provide effective access to housing for Travellers and contributes to the systemic discrimination of Travellers, in violation of the aforementioned provisions of the Charter.
