"Mr President, last Tuesday we received Mr Pastrana, the President of Colombia, in this Hemicycle, and all welcomed his proposed peace plan. In Europe we also have on-going political conflicts which result from cultural differences. Two of them have also taken a violent form: Northern Ireland and the Basque Country. I wish to state here my support not only for Colombia and other countries but also for the current peace processes in these two regions, which are part of Europe. I call on the Council, the Commission and this Parliament to ensure that the mechanisms of the Culture 2000 programme, as well as the other programmes available, are also used to support these peace initiatives. We should opt for events such as the European Culture Capital and the Month of Culture taking place in Northern Ireland or the Basque Country, since this new political framework for Europe may offer valid solutions to these two conflicts. In these areas we need to promote the values of tolerance and respect for cultural diversity and the freedom of peoples to decide their future and promote co-existence, solidarity and a sense of justice and peace. This is what we should opt for."@en1
