When Mr. Cox referred to the new accession countries which will join the EU next year, I was very much taken by his remark on what he called creative reconciliation. We in Europe must never forget what happened, because the whole genesis of small countries originally coming together has resulted in a much bigger European Union. We came together because of our differences. Ireland is now an equal partner in the EU with Britain, which had a very belligerent relationship with Ireland for so many years. That fostering of a new relationship must never be forgotten, any more than the slaughter that occurred on the Continent of Europe. I welcome Mr. Cox's remark about creative reconciliation and how it can be developed.
