The International Fund for Ireland, which was set up in 1986, with the aim of helping to implement the Anglo-Irish Agreement, of promoting economic and social advances and of encouraging contact, dialogue and reconciliation between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland, has done extremely useful and positive work in promoting economic and social development towards peace and reconciliation in the region.
The process of consolidating peace in Northern Ireland and in the Irish border region is now, once again, encircled by threats and uncertainty. Indeed, the Northern Ireland Assembly has been suspended. Against this backdrop, the promotion of peace through economic and social development in the regions of both parts of Ireland takes on extra significance. It is a process that, at grassroots level, has been carried out in exemplary fashion by the International Fund for Ireland.
I therefore feel that the Commission should adopt the proposal for a Council regulation concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland. I am, consequently, voting in favour."@en1
