"The vote on this resolution has put the PPE-DE Irish delegation in a difficult position. The Irish Peace Process has been a success and we recognise the support of the EU for that process. After more than 40 years of terrorism, violence and conflict all parties are now working towards a lasting peace in Ireland.
We would like to see a successful peace process in Spain also and an end to the use of violence for political ends. However, there are dangers in drawing parallels between the Irish Peace Process and the situation that currently exists in Spain. To begin with, the Irish Peace process has the support of two sovereign governments and the support of the vast majority of political parties on both islands. In Spain there is still deep political division on how best to proceed.
It is unfortunate that the European Parliament is being forced to divide on such a fundamentally important issue for Spain. However, with Spanish Members so deeply divided on the resolution before us, it has made it impossible for the rest of Parliament to form a united view on a subject that we really should not be divided on.
Fundamentally, we all want to support an end to political violence in Spain."@en1
