Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

The Abuja agreement is critically important and was discussed at the European Council by the Taoiseach and his colleagues. It was also discussed at the General Affairs and External Relations Council, GAERC, by the Minister and me, with our colleagues, and at the Council of Europe. Every diplomatic effort is being made with EU High Representative Solana, the EU Three and others to ensure the agreement comes into operation as rapidly as possible to see the region progress in the interests of humanity. The Minister will certainly raise the issue.
