    [03] Spokesman - Cyprus question

    Nicosia, Aug 22 (CNA) - The Cyprus government is making a concerted effort to secure that next month's UN-led proximity talks are substantive negotiations as it believes that the preparatory period is over.

    Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou described September's new round of talks as "significant" also noting this marks the end of the intervention by US President Bill Clinton.

    [04] Finance Minister - Money laundering - Sunday Times

    Nicosia, Aug 22 (CNA) - Cyprus has stringent legislation and strict monitoring bodies to oversee and control attempts for money laundering, Finance Minister Takis Klerides has said, fending off critical press allegations that Cyprus is one of four offshore havens where Yugoslav money was said to be laundered by Belgrade.

    "International organisations have said that Cyprus' legislation satisfies their rules fully and our special unit in charge of combatting money laundering is determined to continue its close monitoring and stringent regulations in cooperation with the Central Bank and the ministry," Klerides said.
