[01] SPOKESMAN - WORKING GROUPSGovernment Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou said on Monday that a good atmosphere was determined in the working groups and technical committees, which were set up to discuss various aspects of the Cyprus problem.He noted, however, that this was not enough, since the working groups and technical committees had to produce results, especially the working groups, which are discussing matters of substance. Replying to questions, Stephanou said the working groups and technical committees would now be commencing intensive work and ``we will see how far we can go.`` Stephanou assured that the Greek Cypriot side was participating in this process ``with good will, ready for hard work and is well prepared.`` Asked if a working group would be set up to discuss the issue of Turkish settlers in the areas of Cyprus under Turkish occupation, Stephanou said ``this is an issue we had raised`` and noted that the Greek Cypriot side wanted to discuss it. ``We have begun a process with six working groups and seven technical committees.
