COREPER agrees on financial aid regulation for Turkish Cypriots

by Nicos Bellos

Brussels, Sep 29 (CNA) - A political agreement, which must be approved by the Council of Ministers on 11 October, was achieved today in Brussels concerning the regulation for financial aid to Turkish Cypriots, amounting 259 million euro. The agreement was achieved by all member states, forcing the Commission to consent.

According to community sources, during today's meeting of the Permanent Representatives, the Commission tried to prevent any decision from being taken because it deviated from the changes it agreed to last week, in an effort to avoid a separation of the financial regulation with that of the direct trade.
