[02] ÅP Committee - Cyprus - Resolution
Nicosia, Sep 16 (CNA) - The Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights,
Common Security and Defence Policy of the European Parliament (EP) has
unanimously adopted a motion for a resolution on Cyprus' application for
membership of the European Union, which will be presented to the EP plenary
session for approval next month.
In the resolution the EP deplores the lack of goodwill on the part of the
Turkish Cypriot side and Turkey to make progress with the negotiations on
the question of Cyprus and calls on the EU to become more involved in the
search for a solution.
