lpv:translated text	"I am sorry, Commissioner, but your replies do not add anything new. We all know that cross-community talks have reached an impasse and that the prospect of finding a way out of it by December are slim, to say the least. I should like to put two questions to you. First, as things stand, there is a clear danger that the island will be divided or partitioned and that, unfortunately, would prove that the Communist Party of Greece was right to predict that moves to integrate Cyprus into the European Union would have precisely that result. The question is, first, has the Commission considered that possibility and what plans has it made to forestall it. And secondly, we all know that Turkey holds the key to the Cyprus problem. The impression we get is that the Commission and the Council, the European Union in general, has not explored every feasible way of exerting pressure on Turkey. You referred, of course, to the repercussions which Turkey's stand will have, but I have a feeling that the Council and the Commission could turn up the pressure. The question is whether anyone is actually willing to exert that sort of pressure."@en1
