"Ladies and gentlemen, Cyprus has for a long time been divided into three sections. Three percent of the territory is made up of British army bases. None of the local people knows what happens there, but they are clearly places where a number of foreigners earn good salaries.
The General Affairs Council is calling on the Commission to support direct trade with the Turkish community in Cyprus in connection with the opening up of Famagusta – known as Varosha in Turkish – which is currently sealed off. Given that Parliament has discussed the release of an amount of money to develop and renew the infrastructure of the northern part of Cyprus, I should like to ask when, if Famagusta belongs to the northern part of the island, reconstruction work using the above-mentioned resources will start and when it will be open to the local population. If, on the other hand, it belongs to the south, when will it be open for the local inhabitants to begin rebuilding the town?
Or is there perhaps some third way forward, Commissioner? Should the British units posted on the island be solving the problem?"@en1
