Romanian officials have denied targeting gypsies under tough new laws introduced to cut back on the amount of benefits paid - by refusing to pay benefits to anyone who owns gold jewellery.
Under the regulations introduced by the Department for Work and Pensions, any person claiming any sort of social benefit will be excluded if they declare that they own jewellery, or have more than 100 grams of precious metal, works of art, porcelain or crystal objects, fur coats or designer products.
But officials are relying on people to volunteer the information about what they have at home meaning few are being excluded for their art collections - but in contrast gypsies who turn up with their traditional gold jewellery are being turned down.
