In 2012 dismantling camps and offering free flights and financial incentives for Roma to return to their countries of origin continue. Though, at the end of August 2012, the government published a circular on “evacuation of illegal camps: anticipation and attendant measures”. The circular stipulates that clearances would only be carried out on the basis of court orders and ideally with a plan for alternative accommodation having been established first.
