Greek Cypriots feel much more secure in the EU

Nicosia, Jun 22 (CNA) -- Research by the European Commission Representation in Cyprus shows that Greek Cypriots feel much more secure in the European Union (EU) after accession and as the Counsellor of the Representation George Cunningham said here today, ''the EU's image continues to be much more positive than negative with the majority.''

In his keynote address during a two-day seminar on the EU, organised by the Council of Europe (CoE) and the European Journalism Centre (EJC), Cunningham said that Cyprus' accession to the EU was considered by a lot of people as the main cause for a hike in prices and a worsening economic situation on the island.

President Papadopoulos wraps up visit to Spain

by Athena Arsalidou

Madrid, Jun 22 (CNA) - Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos said today that the stage of explaining why the Greek Cypriot community rejected a UN plan for a Cyprus settlement had been overcome, as Cyprus had found understanding for the reasons it said ''No'' in the April referendum on the plan.

He also said that now efforts were focusing on cultivating the idea that the European Union must play a more active role in solving the Cyprus problem.

Speaking after wrapping up a two-day working visit to Spain, President Papadopoulos said he and Minister of Foreign Affairs George Iacovou met last night in Madrid with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, with whom they discussed the Cyprus problem.
