"This debate is further manifestation of the importance the European Union places on further political progress in Northern Ireland. I recognise and indeed welcome the supportive role played by the European institutions in recent years, in both political will and financial resource, and it is my hope that this will continue as we progress towards a more prosperous Northern Ireland.
As we all know, language is vitally important in ascertaining neutrality. My hope is that my colleagues in this Parliament and within the Commission will remain a neutral ally to the political process in Northern Ireland.
I regret therefore that those drafting this joint resolution have made a number of factual inaccuracies in its text. Furthermore, in calling for the full implementation of the Belfast Agreement, it fails to recognise that accord has been superseded by subsequent political agreements that have brought a much greater degree of accountability to our system of government and consequently the longest period of stable devolution in our history. That it does not reference innocent victims of terrorism, and their needs, is deeply regrettable.
The core elements of this motion for a resolution have my full support. However, due to these inaccuracies and deficiencies I regretfully had to abstain on the vote."@en1
