by Nicos Bellos

Brussels, Jan 18 (CNA)-- The signing by Turkey of a protocol, relating to its customs union agreement with the European Union, with all ten new EU member states constitutes an acknowledgment that Cyprus is a member state of the Union, EU enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said here Tuesday.

Rehn was replying to a question by Cypriot MEP Yiannakis Matsis during a meeting of the European Parliament External Affairs Committee, who had asked whether the signing of the customs union with the ten new members by Turkey actually meant recognition of the Republic of Cyprus by Ankara.
