[01] RASBASH INTERVIEW GREEN LINE
The European Commission has called upon the Republic of Cyprus to take
all necessary measures to combat illegal immigration through the Green
Line, between the government controlled areas and Turkish occupied
areas of Cyprus.
In an interview with CNA Head of Unit Turkish Cypriot Taskforce at the
DG Enlargement of the European Commission Andrew Rasbash has said that
the Republic of Cyprus has the legal obligation to survey the Green
Line so to discourage illegal migration.
He reminded that in its annual reports on the Green Line Regulation the
European Commission expresses its concern for the high number of
illegal immigrants crossing the Green Line every year and urges the
authorities of the Republic of Cyprus to take concrete steps without
delay. In his interview with CNA, the EU official also referred to
three issues, which the Commission intends to address by the planned
revision of the Green Line Regulation regarding trade.
