Cyprus President: recourse to European Court last resort

Larnaca, Jun 29 (CNA) -- Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos stressed here today that he has no intention and no wish to file a recourse to the Court of Justice of the European Communities with regard to an EU package of measures aimed at assisting financially and economically the Turkish Cypriots.

He said such course of action would be taken as a last resort and described as ''unacceptable'' the package in its present form, which is still under discussion, in that it contradicts EU rules and regulations.
