[01] EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - MISSING

The European Parliament also calls on the parties concerned and all those who have any information regarding the missing persons to pass it on to the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) in Cyprus without any further delay.

It calls on the Council and the Commission to concern themselves actively with this problem, and to take all necessary steps, in cooperation with the United Nations Secretary General, to bring about implementation of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the relevant UN and European Parliament resolutions.

The resolution also foresees that the problem is referred to its appropriate committee of the European Parliament with a view to follow-up, in close cooperation with the Commission, and instructs the committee to report to it periodically, the first report to be submitted within six months.

The resolution had the support of all the political groups in the European Parliament and was an initiative of Cypriot MEP Panayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED/CY).

[02] EP - TURKISH CYPRIOTS - GROUP

French MEP Francoise Grossetete of the European People`s Party, who is heading the Group, presented to the presidents of the European Parliament the report of the Group for its works since January 2006, when it was set up, and its contacts with representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community.

Grossetete said that ``the report was adopted unanimously by our Group, despite the differences on certain issues, and it is the result of group work between the participating MEPs.``
