Treasure, who was in Cyprus for a series of seminars for the public and health professionals, points out the importance of setting a team of professionals, a pool of expertise for eating disorder who will help Cyprus deal with the problem. She maintains that eating disorders can be recognized in early stages when someone seems to have a paradoxical behavior about food, maybe avoiding meals, or not eating when going out with friends and yet seeming to be interested in food, perhaps in recipes. As she explains, sometimes anorexia is apparent because there is a lost of weight, but in bulimia there may not be loss of weight but someone could notice unusual behavior about food [03] HOUSE COMMITTEE - MISSING PERSONSThe House Refugee Committee has been assured that the process of exhumation of remains of missing persons - at four places in Cyprus northern Turkish occupied areas and two in the southern government-controlled areas - will be intensified, Committee Chairman Aristophanis Georgiou has said.The Committee met behind closed doors to discuss the latest developments concerning the issue of missing persons and as Georgiou said it was briefed about the ongoing process, conducted with the Committee on Missing Persons.
