    [06] British envoy: Cyprus solution and EU accession feasible

    British envoy: Cyprus solution and EU accession feasible

    Nicosia, Dec 18 (CNA) -- Britain's Cyprus envoy Lord David Hannay believes there is now a much better prospect than ever before of achieving the twin objective of a political settlement and accession of the whole of Cyprus to the European Union.

    He said he was encouraged by the clear concentration by both sides on the core issues of substance, by the welcomed absence of tactical manoeuvring and the sense of urgency that exists which makes people working to a timetable, that of Cyprus' anticipated accession to the EU.

    Lord Hannay said UN resolutions would not be set aside in the forthcoming UN-led direct talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides, noted that what the Turkish Cypriots call "an economic embargo" is the result of a ruling by the Court of Justice in Luxembourg and said Turkey must comply with a European Court of Human Rights judgment on a human rights case (Titina Loizidou).

    He did not think the acquis communautaire will be bypassed in a UN settlement, said the EU would accommodate such a settlement in the terms of accession and stressed there would be derogations or transition periods or special arrangements for Cyprus when it joins the EU, just as there were for all other EU members.
