[01] HOUSE PRESIDENT - NEW YORK MEETING
President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian said that
President of the Republic Demetris Christofias had been under pressure
in New York for a meeting between the two communities in Cyprus,
Greece, Turkey and the UN, but had not accepted.
``We all knew that yesterday`s meeting between the President of
Republic and the Turkish Cypriot leader, in the presence of the UN
Secretary General, would be a difficult meeting. We had all from the
start warned about the dangers from this meeting,`` he noted.
Garoyian noted that certain officials wanted to upgrade the role of the
UN to a point where the UN could submit proposals and set timeframes or
even arbitration.
[02] EUROSTAT - CYPRUS - TOURISM
Total nights spent in hotels and other collective tourism
establishments in Cyprus reached 12.9 million in 2009, according to
data released by Eurostat.
According to Eurostat, Cyprus was the country with the most extended
high season, from May (10% of all nights spent) to October (11%). A
similar pattern, although not as strongly pronounced can be seen in
Germany and Malta.
In most of the member states, the number of nights spent in collective
tourist accommodation in 2009 started to increase from May/June
onwards, reached a peak in either July or August and then declined
steadily, reflecting a high season of around three months.
