  • [01] EUROPEAN COMMISSION - CYPRUS QUESTION

    The European Commission has urged the leaders of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in Cyprus to step up their efforts to relaunch negotiations on a comprehensive settlement under UN auspices.

    In its Enlargement Strategy 2007 Report issued Tuesday along with the Progress Reports for the EU candidate countries (Croatia, FYROM and Turkey) and EU potential candidates (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo), the Commission said it was implementing the instrument of financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community, facilitating the future re-unification of the island.

    Enhanced use of the Green Line Regulation, which allows for the movement of persons and goods throughout Cyprus, will serve the interests of both communities, the Commission said, adding that the regulation on direct trade with the northern part of Cyprus, proposed by the Commission to further reduce the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot community remains to be adopted by the Council.

    [02] BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY - GREEK FM - CYPRUS QUESTION

    British Foreign Secretary David Miliband reiterated on Tuesday that the British policy on the Cyprus problem has not changed as a result of the strategic partnership agreement signed between the United Kingdom and Turkey.

    He added that his country remains a strong supporter of the 8 July 2006 agreement and the engagement by all sides with the UN after the presidential elections in Cyprus.

    Speaking after an hour-long meeting with Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Dora Bakoyiannis, Miliband said partnership agreements have been signed annually with Turkey since 2004.
