    National Council concludes meeting with consensus approach

    Nicosia, Dec 19 (CNA) -- Parliamentary parties, comprising the National Council, ended their two-day deliberations today during which they discussed preparations by the Greek Cypriot side for next month's direct peace talks, under UN aegis, beginning 16 January on the island.

    "All issues were on the table and I believe there was a strong desire on the part of participants for consensus in their approach," Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said after the meeting but refrained from disclosing any further details.

    Asked if the President has arguments to put forward at the talks, the spokesman said "he most certainly does have replies, positions on all issues and arguments."

    The President, he added, will outline his positions and views at the meetings he has with various envoys dealing with the question of Cyprus but also at the negotiating table.

    "We will go to the talks on the basis of the 1989 National Council proposals," the spokesman said.

    The Council, the top advisory body to the president on the handling of the Cyprus problem, said in 1989 it backs a bizonal, bicommunal federation and wants to see a settlement on the basis of UN resolutions and decisions.

    President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, who met for the first time in four years in early December, decided to start direct talks in mid January, with no preconditions and with all issues on the table. They said they would negotiate until they reach a comprehensive settlement and nothing will be agreed until everything is agreed.

    Cyprus ratifies convention on criminal proceedings

    Nicosia, Dec 19 (CNA) -- Cyprus ratified today the European Convention on the transfer of proceedings in criminal matters, which will enter into force for Cyprus on 20 March 2002.

    Under the convention, any contracting state may request another contracting state to take proceedings against a suspected person in its state and then waive proceedings itself.

    The requested state may not refuse acceptance of the request except in specific cases and in particular if it considers that the offence is of a political nature or that the request is based on considerations of race, religion or nationality.
