"According to the agreement between the European Union and Cyprus, the cost of participation in the programme by Cypriot undertakings will be covered in full by the Republic of Cyprus. However, the equivalent cost for candidate countries in central Europe is covered out of Community funds. Although the sum provided for in the agreement is small, this is not a question of quantity but of principle. In addition, Cyprus also covers the cost of its participation in other programmes. The people of Cyprus are clearly being wronged here. I should also like to point out that the total cost of adapting Cyprus to Community acquis is put at between 500 and 900 million Cyprus pounds, i.e. between EUR 1 and 1.8 billion, while the funding received by the Republic of Cyprus from the European Union is minute. Obviously economic relations between Cyprus and the European Union are unfairly stacked against the Republic of Cyprus and the people of Cyprus have nothing to gain from accession, which is why the members of the Communist Party of Greece abstained rather than vote in favour."@en1
