I thank the President-in-Office of the Council for that reply. It seems to me that everybody is blaming everybody else. It has been over a year since the Council pledged to end the isolation of Turkish Cypriots in the wake of their two-thirds ‘yes’ vote to the UN’s Annan Plan for a political settlement. One has to ask what trust can anyone place in EU pledges if this is an example of non-delivery. As the minister pointed out, direct trade and helping the economy of the north would assist in a political settlement. It is of no help to anyone for the Turkish Cypriots to be so far behind the Greek Cypriots in income and economic development.
When will some serious pressure be exerted to actually deliver on that year-old pledge? In the meantime, the Turkish Cypriots are dangling out there in isolation, losing trust in EU promises. I must confess, I cannot blame them. When can we expect these two regulations to be passed?"@en1
