lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as many MEPs are aware, elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly took place last week. The overwhelming majority of the 108 members of this new assembly supported the creation of a devolved government in Northern Ireland on 26 March next. Dr Ian Paisley and the DUP secured a political mandate from voters for the policies that he is presently pursuing. I would urge Dr Paisley and his party to take the final historic step and form a devolved government in two weeks’ time. The European Parliament has always supported the peace process in Northern Ireland and will, I hope, continue to do so. This has been with the support given by the European Union to programmes such as the Interreg cross-border initiative, the Peace and Reconciliation Fund and the International Fund for Ireland. On 24 March 2007, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the creation of the European Union. This is a celebration of a very successful political project whereby European leaders put aside their differences and chose the path of peace, as opposed to the path of war. It would be very symbolic indeed if a new government in Northern Ireland could be formed two days after these Europe-wide celebrations, as this would mark a very important step in building peace and reconciliation amongst all the people in Northern Ireland. Finally, I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has named today European Commemoration Day for the Victims of Terrorism. We must never forget those people who have died or been injured at the hands of terrorists, be it in Ireland, Europe or other parts of the world."@en1
