    Three down, three to go for Cyprus' EU accession

    by Nicos Bellos Brussels, Apr 19 (CNA) - Cyprus has closed three more chapters of the acquis communautaire, bringing their number to 27, and has thus reaffirmed it is ahead of all other candidate for EU accession countries.

    With the wrapping up of the chapters on Taxation, Regional Policy and Institutional Affairs, at today's 16th EU Ministerial Conference, it can be safely said that Cyprus is the first candidate country to conclude its accession negotiations, as it has only three more chapters left, those of Competition, Agriculture and Budget.
