lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, we are to vote on the report of my colleague Mrs Rothe regarding the financial support of Northern Cyprus. This is good news: Northern Cyprus needs this aid. Over the last few decades events have separated the island politically and economically. The people of Cyprus suffered immensely from the partition of the island. All those involved must do their best to overcome the separation. It was the explicit aim of the United Nations and the EU that a united Cyprus would join the European Union on 1 May 2004. The governments of Northern Cyprus and Turkey have followed the steps laid out by the United Nations and the EU. The population of Northern Cyprus has overwhelmingly supported the unification of the island as well as EU accession. A united Cyprus could already be a member of the EU today. Unfortunately, that has not yet happened. It is our responsibility to encourage the two parts of the island to cooperate. The regulation on financial support that we are discussing today is the first step. The second step will be the regulation on special conditions for trade. The Council should finalise that regulation without delay, firstly, to allow for an improvement in economic conditions of Northern Cyprus; and secondly, to facilitate the rapprochement of the two sides through trade. This rapprochement can also support change in both parts of the island. During the times of the German Ostpolitik, we called this concept . More steps must follow soon. The ultimate aim must be the reunification of Cyprus."@en1
