lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the financial segregation and distress of our Turkish Cypriot compatriots was never the objective of the Progressive Party of the Working People of Cyprus and the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left. The underlying reason for this segregation is not the so-called embargo on the Greek Cypriot side, it is the Turkish occupation, the breakaway action of the occupying regime and the fact that the economy of the occupied areas is inextricably bound up with the Turkish economy, to the point even that the Turkish pound has been introduced as the currency of the occupied areas. Following the Turkish invasion and occupation in 1974, the Republic of Cyprus announced that its occupied ports and airports were closed, because it could not exert any form of control over them. This was also an act of self-defence, so that we would not be led into recognising the pseudo-state. Security Council resolutions 541 and 550, together with a series of rulings by the European Court of Human Rights upheld the above decision in full. The same happened in the recent opinion of the Council's legal department, which expressly recognises the right of the Republic of Cyprus to keep the said ports and airports closed. Our group supports the financial regulation for Turkish Cypriots, provided of course that the Republic of Cyprus is respected and no benefit or political advantage is reaped by the occupying regime. We hope that understanding and broad agreement have been reached on these matters. As regards the report on the European Agency for Reconstruction being debated, the Progressive Party of the Working People of Cyprus wonders why it has been tabled for voting before us today, at a time when there is no agreement at COREPER level, by the Commission or the Council. I would remind the House of the view of COREPER, that the matter would be debated under the next Presidency, under the Luxembourg Presidency. It is precisely because the Republic of Cyprus is not a third country and the occupied areas are not independent territory, they are, as the Accession Treaty expressly states, territory of the European Union to which application of the has been stayed, that the Progressive Party of the Working People of Cyprus cannot vote in favour of the regulation on the European Agency for Reconstruction. It goes without saying that our vote against the regulation does not mean that we reject assistance to the Balkan countries. Finally, what we want is to vote on the protocol without clarifying the heading from which this money will be taken. It has been said that the matter will be resolved depending on where there are appropriations. However, no appropriations are available under the internal assistance heading."@en1
