I am shocked to find Ignasi Guardans and Barbara Dührkop in this list.

Guardans also voted for the "return" directive.

Considering that Guardans' website has an article on from Europe we must stop the criminalisation of the Roma people, it must be a mistake in voting or recording the vote.

He's not my MEP, but he has said it's a mistake on his website. From the article I link:
Guardans ha comès en el moment del vot del text un error material que ja ha estat rectificat davant dels serveis de la cambra perquè així consti a l'acta de la sessió d'avui.Guardans made a material error at the time of voting on the text which has already been rectified before the Parliament's services so that it is recorded in the minutes of today's session
Oh, and he just confirmed this by e-mail in response to a note I left on his website. However, it's not been corrected in the "roll-call votes", nor in the "results of votes" available from the EP's website.

I think MEPs issue corrections if they find out they have voted wrongly.

Cypriot right voted against, Greek right abstained, Greek populist far-right voted for(!), one Communist abstained (!! could this be wrong?), the other was not present. Greek and Cypriot Left and Center voted for. No Greek EMP dared vote against, the cynic in me says because they wouldn't want to hurt their party in the districts with a sizeable Roma population.

Actually, I find 21 members of the EPP (PPE-DE) mafia did vote for (including ex-East-Bloc MEPs) and Elmar Brok/CDU is the most prominent.

I recognise the names of a couple of the assholes, but let me comb through the list of the 13 PPE-DE MEPs from Hungary... I find only 3 voted against: Zsolt László Becsey/Fidesz, Antonio de Blasio/Fidesz, Péter Olajos/MDF; but all the rest who were present abstained.
