As part of the EU’s social policy, the National Roma Integration Strategies (NRIS) have been in force until 2020. It was a pending task to systematically observe how these strategies define the Roma population and what element of the definition is prioritised. This is useful in understanding the limits of a unitary policy within the European Union concerning the Roma and also to analyse the orientation of said policies in each country. In this sense, we have previously defined what the Roma heteroidentification components are and we have selected the terms and lexemes that are associated with them. By using content analysis techniques, we have pinpointed the components in the NRIS and we have conducted a statistical analysis with the obtained data. The majority of EU countries define the Roma in their strategies as an ethnocultural, disadvantaged and discriminated group and, to a lesser extent, as foreigners or nomads. This heteroidentification is established based on the geopolitical bloc (East and West) to which the country belongs and the department in charge of the NRIS (mainly social departments or specific departments for minorities).

作为欧盟社会政策的一部分，《国家罗姆人融合战略》（NRIS）一直有效到2020年。系统地观察这些战略如何界定罗姆人人口以及优先考虑该定义的哪些内容是一项悬而未决的任务。这有助于理解欧盟内部关于罗姆人的统一政策的局限性，并有助于分析每个国家所述政策的方向。从这个意义上讲，我们以前已经定义了什么是罗马异源识别组件，并且选择了与它们相关的术语和词素。通过使用内容分析技术，我们查明了NRIS中的组件，并对获得的数据进行了统计分析。欧盟大多数国家/地区将罗姆人定义为民族文化，弱势群体和受歧视群体，在较小程度上为外国人或游牧民族。这种异质识别是基于该国家所属的地缘政治集团（东西方）和NRIS的主管部门（主要是社会部门或少数群体的特定部门）建立的。
