European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Second Stage.

We have seen this week the importance of maintaining the momentum behind our own peace process. The European Union has provided consistent political as well as financial support totalling some €1.3 billion on cross-Border peace and INTERREG programmes as a measure of the practical help that the Union provides for communities in need, with all the employment spin-offs that such major resources signify.
