lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, I am grateful for the opportunity to address colleagues before, hopefully, my report is voted through plenary. The PEACE programme is of much more than purely financial importance to Northern Ireland and the border counties of the Republic of Ireland. It is the most visible contribution so far by the European Union to building a stable society in Northern Ireland and, to that extent, it has enormous symbolic value as well. It is a fine example of the European Union offering assistance without interfering in the local political process. On behalf of the people of Northern Ireland, I thank those who have worked so hard to ensure that this report was able to go through its parliamentary stages at speed. I am grateful to the chairman and the secretariat of the Committee on Regional Development for addressing the proposal as a priority once it was received from the Commission. I am also very grateful to the Committee on Budgets for its efficient handling of the budgetary question, which has enabled us to vote today. Whilst I am also grateful to the Council and the Commission, I regret that the British and Irish governments did not ask for a higher sum of money. The amount allocated falls somewhat short of initial expectations. However, I am pleased that the PEACE programme is being extended and would be grateful for strong support for this symbol of EU commitment to all the people of Northern Ireland."@en1
