  • [01] SPOKESMAN - CMP - MISSING

    The case of five-year-old Christakis Georgiou, missing since the 1974 Turkish invasion, is subject to responsible investigation by the Committee for the Missing Persons (CMP), Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis has said. Pashiardis assured that the Greek Cypriot side both for the particular case and for the issue of the missing persons as a whole is exerting every possible effort with a view to ascertain the fate of each and every one of the missing persons.

    Replying to questions, after a meeting of the Council of Ministers, on the case of Christakis Georgiou, Pashiardis said that ``all the fresh evidence and details that emerged recently in this particular case will be conveyed from the CMP to the Turkish Cypriot side, which is responsible to investigate the issue and give a detailed report,`` pointing out that ``the Turkish Cypriot side, contrary to the CMP, is entitled to access in Turkey so as to investigate the issue.``

    The Spokesman also noted that the Greek Cypriot side could request Turkish classified documents, doubting however that Turkey would respond to such a request.

    Pashiardis said that the CMP`s mandate is exhausted to investigations in Cyprus` territory and not Turkey.

    [02] PARTIES - ECONOMIC RELATIONS

    Leaders and Representatives of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot political parties had their regular meeting on Wednesday under the auspices of the Slovak Embassy in Cyprus, during which they exchanged views on ``the importance of the contemporary intercommunal economic relations.``

    ``They expressed views on the different aspects of the economic interactions between the two communities related to the solution of the Cyprus problem,`` a joint communique issued after the meeting says.

    The next meeting will be held on 25 April 2007 at Ledra Palace.

    [03] SPOKESMAN - EU - TRADE

    Any measures which instead of reunification tend to consolidate the division and facilitate the political upgrading of the occupation regime will not be accepted by the Republic of Cyprus, Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis reiterated on Wednesday.

    Replying to questions after a meeting of the Council of Ministers, one day after a meeting between Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs George Lillikas and EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn in Brussels, Pashiardis said that in its efforts for financial support to the Turkish Cypriots, the Cypriot government ``elaborates proposals that we will submit to the EU Presidency and the Commission.``

    Pashiardis pointed out that if the aim and rationale behind the Commission`s regulation is the financial support of the Turkish Cypriots, ``it will be hard for our proposals to be rejected and even harder to corroborate a possible rejection.``

    [04] COMMISSION - CYPRUS AIRWAYS

    The European Commission, at the proposal of Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot, authorised the restructuring plan proposed by the Republic of Cyprus to restore the viability of Cyprus` national air carrier, Cyprus Airways.

    ``The Commission has today found compatible with the common market the restructuring plan proposed by the Republic of Cyprus in order to restore the viability of Cyprus Airways. Following an in-depth investigation, the Commission has decided that the plan is in line with the Community rules regarding the rescue and restructuring of firms in difficulty,`` a press release issued by the European Commission says.
