lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I have listened to Mr Patten and his views very closely. First, on a point of order, I am not sure if Mr Patten is entitled to even be in the House, given that Commissioner Prodi's brief expired on 31 October. Apart from which, all Commissioner Prodi's acts are being audited to see if they are legal. I believe that this matter will be resolved before the Court in Luxembourg. Who is to blame for the fact that northern Cyprus and southern Cyprus have not developed equally, when the northern part is more fertile and more suited to tourism? The occupying army is to blame. However much money Europe gives, it will be wasted, because the occupying army has created a constricting framework which prevents any development. We therefore need to see what can be done, as the Commissioner says. The occupying army needs to leave and Cyprus needs to return to its following the Zurich and London Treaties, which were also signed by England, of which the Commissioner is, of course, the eminent offspring. The occupying army needs to leave, calm needs to be restored to the island, the 1960 Constitution needs to be applied and economic prosperity will follow in northern Cyprus automatically. As long as there is an occupying army, there will be no prosperity. The money will be wasted. We therefore need to have the courage to find a realistic solution. If we had not kicked Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, would we today be providing financial support to occupied Kuwait? If we had not kicked Milosevic out of Bosnia, would we be funding Milosevic today? So why do we not do the same with Turkey? Tell Turkey to get off the island so that northern Cyprus can develop. No one wants poor neighbours. Most of all, the Greek Cypriots do not want poor neighbours. If you have the courage to kick out the occupying army – which is the only occupying army in a European country – development will automatically follow."@en1
