[01] FINNISH FM - FAILURE OF INITIATIVE
Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja said that at this
stage circumstances do not permit that an agreement could be reached
during the Finnish Presidency of the EU on an effort to avert a crisis
between the EU and Turkey, noting however that all parties have
cooperated constructively with the presidency.
In a press release, the Finnish Presidency says it has held ``intensive
consultations at political and officials` level with all parties`` with
the objective of finding ``a solution that would enable the
uninterrupted continuation of Turkey`s accession process and would
improve the situation of both communities in Cyprus.``
[02] COMMISSIONER KYPRIANOU - TURKEY - EU
EU Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner Marcos Kyprianou stated
that no one would like Turkeys accession course to stop because it is a
fundamental lever for reforms.
In statements before the failure of the Finnish initiative was
announced, Kyprianou, who was received by President of the Republic
Tassos Papadopoulos said that no one wants to stop Turkeys accession
course because it is a fundamental lever for reforms. However, he said
that if it does not fulfill its obligations, there will be some
repercussions.
