"Mr President, many speakers have said that the division of Cyprus is tragic. I fully agree. Reunification should have happened yesterday at the latest.
The European Union consistently supports these efforts, and the EU has tried to take its own part, with the Commission being actively involved in all these efforts. With the involvement of all the presidencies in these efforts in the last couple of years, the European Union has invested an enormous amount of energy and effort in solving the Cyprus dilemma.
Today, the Finnish formula is likely to be the last chance for several years to unblock the current stalemate. Therefore it should be taken extremely seriously. Judging by last Monday’s Council Meeting of Foreign Ministers of the European Union, the EU Member States are indeed supportive of the Finnish efforts. So is the Commission, with both the political ways and means and legal and other substantive expertise to facilitate solutions.
To sum up, everybody should seize this opportunity and thus create a real win-win situation for everybody, including the Varosha refugees."@en1
