[01] Government Spokesman: Turkey's reactions cannot affect Cyprus' accession course

Turkey's "blackmail" cannot affect Cyprus' accession course, Christos Stylianides stated yesterday.

Commenting on a recent statement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry following the start of EU substantive accession negotiations with Cyprus, Mr Stylianides pointed out that the Turkish Foreign Ministry's statement "clearly shows anxiety and bewilderment over the start of the substantive negotiations."

The Spokesman reiterated the government's invitation to the Turkish Cypriots to join the Republic's negotiating team, pointing out that the proposal of the President of the Republic "is on the table, so that we can proceed together towards the difficult road which will secure the future of the people of Cyprus."

[02] Council of Ministers approves Cyprus' participation in EU programme

The Council of Ministers approved at its last session on Wednesday November 11, the country's participation in the 5th EU Framework Programme on Research, Technical Development and Demonstration (1998-2002).

The Republic's Planning Bureau will conduct the negotiations on the financial conditions of the country's participation.

Cyprus' overall financial contribution to the programme has been calculated to reach 6,6 million Cyprus pounds (11,2 m ECU) for the period from 1999 to 2002.
