[01] VERHEUGEN - CYPRUS

Speaking after a meeting with the President, Verheugen, currently on a two-day visit to Cyprus, said that the meeting lasted more than expected because we had to discuss very important topics.

We have discussed the institutional transition in the European Union. I informed the President about the state of play on the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon and the institutional changes which will come, he added.

He said that we have, of course, discussed the response of the European Union on the economic crisis and being in charge of the economic coordination in the EU, I informed the President what we are doing next and what we have achieved so far.

I expressed my appreciation for the strong support that we got from the government of Cyprus for our policy of crisis response, he noted.

He went on to say that the President informed me about the progress made in his talks with the Turkish Cypriot side to find a settlement and it was of course a very confidential part of our conversation.

I only told him that the European Commission fully supports his endeavors and fully trusts him that he will do everything he can to find a solution, he stressed.
