evidence: The peace process in Northern Ireland has been receiving financial support from the EU since 1989, through both EU regional policy and EU contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (IFI). [...] In the 2021-2027 period, the EU will finance the PEACE PLUS programme with EUR 235 million from the European Territorial Cooperation allocation of the ERDF. Along with the UK’s financial contribution and additional national co-financing from Ireland and Northern Ireland, the PEACE PLUS programme will provide a total investment of EUR 1.1 billion. [...] In its resolution of 11 September 2018 on the impact of EU cohesion policy on Northern Ireland, Parliament made note of the Commission’s proposal to continue the PEACE and Interreg programmes, as well as the UK position paper of April 2018 on the future of cohesion policy, in which the UK stated its willingness to explore a potential successor to PEACE IV with the Northern Ireland Executive, the Irish Government and the EU. Parliament considered that EU support for territorial cooperation, especially regarding cross-border and cross-community projects, should be continued in view of the achievements of the special EU cohesion programmes for Northern Ireland, namely the PEACE and Interreg programmes, which are particularly important for the stability of the region.
