[01] Cyprus - US - Measures against Yugoslavia
Nicosia, May 13 (CNA) -- The US has welcomed a decision by the Cyprus
government to align itself as far as possible with additional measures the
European Union intends to implement against Yugoslavia.
Asked yesterday if Cyprus is violating the oil embargo as a non EU
member, US State Department spokesman James Rubin said "I would have to
check that, but we do welcome the decision of Cyprus to join the consensus
of countries in Europe who are not allowing that to happen."
Rubin said the US has "also approached several other countries to
adhere voluntarily to the embargo."
Announcing the Cyprus government decision on Wednesday, its spokesman
Costas Serezis explained that the issues under the competency of the
cabinet would be examined and look into others which might require
legislation.
The EU measures include a ban on visits by some 300 Yugoslav
politicians to states aligning themselves with the decision, a freeze on
funds held by Yugoslav and Serbian officials and a ban on providing private
sector export finance to Yugoslavia.
