[01] Commission unveils Action Plan for a more effective defence and
security sector
A more influential Europe needs a strong and active common foreign and
security policy, the European Commission noted on Wednesday, while
presenting a Communication containing an Action Plan to enhance the
efficiency and competitiveness of Europe's defence and security sector.
The Communication foresees measures to strengthen the internal market
for defence, to promote a more competitive defence industry and to foster
synergies between civil and military research.
Moreover, the Communication explores options in other areas such as
energy, space and dual-use capabilities. The Commission invites Heads
of State and Government to discuss this Communication at the European
Council in December 2013, together with the report prepared by the High
Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
[02] Our duty is to continue fighting for justice, House President says
Justice will only come with the restitution of the rights of all refugees,
by granting them the right to return to their homes and properties, and
exercise their political, democratic and human rights in their ancestral
homes, House President Yiannakis Omirou said on Wednesday.
He added that "it is our duty to continue our fight for a Cyprus solution,
in an uncompromising manner."
The Municipalities, the Union of Communities and the refugee associations
of the Turkish-occupied District of Kyrenia met today with the President
of the House of Representatives and delivered a resolution, demanding
justice.
