[02] Chief EU Negotiator - Accession process
Nicosia, Aug 7 (CNA) -- Cyprus is progressing very well in its bid to amend
its legislation in line with European Union laws and regulations, Chief
Negotiator with the EU George Vasiliou has said, but warned that there is
still a lot of hard work ahead, especially with regard to taxation and
agriculture.
Vasiliou said 95 per cent of legislation, already passed by the House, is
being implemented, noting that Cyprus has already closed provisionally 23
out of 29 chapters and pointing out that 50 per cent of the acquis
communautaire relates to fisheries, the environment, both of which Cyprus
have closed, and agriculture, which is expected to close provisionally next
year.
