"Madam President, I am grateful for your support for the victims of terrorism. This is both right and proper and, of course, I do recognise the European Union’s support for victims in Northern Ireland through the PEACE programmes that have been funded there.
The Commission should be aware that Northern Ireland is facing once again a growing terrorist threat from dissident Republican organisations. That threat has been described by the Police Service of Northern Ireland as ‘critical’ and by the International Monitoring Commission as ‘very serious’. In the most recent brutal attacks, two soldiers just about to go to Afghanistan were murdered, as well as one police officer.
In its initial funding to victims of terrorism, the Commission identified the key objective to mobilise the public against terrorism in all its forms. However, I feel with the transition to the broader CIPS programme, this objective seems to have been lost. I am grateful for your proposed work on a Victims’ Charter and I would urge that this starts off by making a very clear distinction between the victims of terrorism and the perpetrators of terrorism."@en1
