"Mr President, I should like to start by congratulating Mrs Rothe and, of course, Mr Samuelsen on their reports. I, of course, shall focus more on Mrs Rothe's report.
It is a fact that the report, as formulated following the discussions and vote in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, is a very good report and, as such, the decision which derives from the report on financial support for the development of the Turkish Cypriot community is also a very good decision, a decision which we all support. In other words, we consider that this support will contribute towards the general development of the Turkish Cypriot community, so that when, God willing – and this is something we hope will happen soon – the Cyprus problem is resolved with the reunification of Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriot community will be at the same high standard as the Greek.
I wish to say, however, as the Council has also taken a stand, that the regulation on financial support is one matter, while the regulation on trade relations is another. Although it may be logical for us to link the two, I would advise great caution as regards the matter of the regulation on direct trade relations. I am certain that the Council will exercise this caution in its work and that the solution found – when it is found – will be fair and will be the right solution.
Finally, a couple of words on the positive role of the European Agency for Reconstruction in Thessaloniki, in my country; I would like here to express the hope and my agreement to its managing financial support to the Turkish Cypriots and I naturally hope that this management will be based on the regulations of the European Union."@en1
