    • [01] EU PRESIDENCY - TURKEY - CYPRUS

    The EU Finnish Presidency is actively working ``to reach a solution which would enable direct trade between the EU and Northern Cyprus``, said Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, adding that ``our aim is a solution that would also ensure that Turkey proceeds with the opening of ports to Cypriot vessels``.

    In a speech before the Finnish Parliament, Vahnanen noted that ``a positive outcome would help us to avert difficulties with Turkey`s EU accession negotiations.``

    We continue, he pointed out, ``to hold intensive and constructive talks with the Republic of Cyprus and Turkey to see whether a solution can be found.``

    ``The following weeks will be crucially important for these efforts as the European Commission has announced that it will issue its progress report on Turkey on 8 November``, Vanhanen concluded.

    Cyprus, an EU member state since 1st May 2004, has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied 37% of its territory
