[01] French Foreign Ministry - President Clerides' working visit
Nicosia, Mar 14 (CNA) - France will try to promote Cyprus' accession
to the European Union, French Foreign Ministry Spokesperson said in a
statement on President Glafcos Clerides' working visit to Paris, noting
that the visit takes place in a positive framework because of the
resumption of UN-led proximity talks on Cyprus.
The island's accession course as well as developments in the current
process of UN-led proximity talks aiming to pave the way for direct talks
for a Cyprus settlement, will be discussed during President Clerides'
working visit to Paris.

[02] Cook - Annan - Cyprus
London, Mar 14 (CNA) - British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, said today
that although it would be better for Cyprus to join the European Union as a
unified state, a solution to the political problem could not be a
precondition for membership. Speaking after a meeting in London this
morning with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Cook said that Cyprus'
membership should be considered on its own merits, and that there could be
no Turkish veto.
