VI. Advocacy and partnerships to the UN Statelessness Conventions; the introduction or improvement of existing statelessness determination procedures; and support to the Global Action Plan to End Statelessness.136 The EU institutions are working to reduce statelessness in and outside the EU in various ways and at various levels. In 2014, the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) published a study on statelessness in the EU’s external relations.137 In 2015, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs commissioned a study on Practices and Approaches in EU Member States to Prevent and End Statelessness.138 The Council of the European Union adopted Conclusions on statelessness for the first time in December 2015.139 In the Conclusions, the Council recognizes the importance of exchanging good practices among Member States concerning the collection of reliable data on stateless persons as well as the procedures for determining statelessness, and invites the Commission to exchange good practices among Member States, using the European Migration Network as a platform. The development and implementation, upon the initiative of the European Commission, of National Roma Integration Strategies in the EU Member States, provides a further opportunity to include and address statelessness-related concerns, especially in countries with large undocumented Roma communities.140 The European Union has also identified statelessness as an area of engagement in its external action on human rights141. This includes the intention to address statelessness with third countries as formulated in the EU Action Plan for Human Rights and Democracy 2015-2019142. This can be done, for example, through the accession process to the EU, which provides an opportunity to raise Roma rights and civil registration with SouthEastern European countries, as well as through the EU human rights dialogues with countries in Central Asia, where statelessness has been put on the agenda. 87
