"Mr President, I found the number of Members who spoke in support of Lady Ashton and her ongoing work in the foreign services, and also the number of Members who proposed that we speak with one voice, interesting and satisfying this morning. If we speak with one voice, we will be effective and listened to; if we do not, we will not be listened to or effective.
I was also reminded of the words of the great Irish poet, William Butler Yeats, who said ‘peace comes dropping slow’. That was certainly the case in Northern Ireland, where the European Union played a crucial part through its support for the International Fund for Ireland, and that peace was copper-fastened last weekend with successful elections.
The work which the European Union did in Northern Ireland can be repeated on the world stage for the benefit of peace and of the poor provided we speak with one voice and if Lady Ashton does her work diligently."@en1
