European Parliament adopts resolution on Cyprus
Strasburg, June 13 (CNA) - The European Parliament today unanimously
adopted a resolution on Cyprus' accession to the European Union (EU).
The resolution, based on a report by rapporteur to the European
Parliament Jacques Poos, "reaffirms that only a single sovereign
Cypriot state will be permitted to accede".
It also notes that the Cypriot state, "as provided for in the UN
Security Council resolutions, may be bizonal and bicommunal, but it has
to be a fully functioning entity at international level and must be in
a position to exercise decision-making power".
The European Parliament "welcomes the fact that, since 16 January 2002,
Clerides and Denktash have been engaged in intensive direct
negotiations and hopes that the prospect of Cyprus' accession will
contribute to a new momentum for resolving the Cyprus question".
