[01] EUROPEAN COMMISSION - AJET
The European Commission adopted on Thursday the second quarterly update
of the Community list of airlines banned in the EU, and although it did
not consider that an immediate banning measure was called for in the
case of Ajet, former Helios Airways, certified in Cyprus, it will be
keeping a watchful eye on the company.
The new list replaces the previous one, which was drawn up in March
2006 and already amended in June.
``On top of the changes to the black list we are going to keep a closer
watch on a number of carriers operating frequent passenger flights in
Europe,`` Commission Vice-President in charge of transport Jacques
Barrot said.
[02] SPOKESMAN - TURKEY - EU
Cypriot Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis said on Thursday
that the government`s aim was and remains that by November 8, when the
European Commission`s progress report on Turkey is to be tabled, none
of the 34 remaining chapters in Turkey`s EU accession negotiations
would be opened.
Asked if Cyprus would block the chapter on Industry, Pashiardis said it
would not be taken to Thursday`s COREPER meeting, after an intervention
by the delegations of Greece and Cyprus.
