COREPER fails to reach agreement on EU regulations
by Nicos Bellos
Brussels, Nov 10 (CNA) -- Discussions among the permanent
representatives of European Union member-states in Brussels (COREPER)
on an EU regulation regarding direct trade between the Union and
Cyprus' occupied areas led once again to deadlock for both this
specific regulation as well as a regulation on financial aid to Turkish
Cypriots.
The EU Dutch presidency presented today a paper of draft conclusions,
which was criticized on the one hand by Britain and Germany, saying
that the two regulations must be adopted simultaneously, and on the
other hand by Cyprus, backed by Greece and Spain, saying that the
Commission's proposal is not based on the correct legal basis.
