"Madam President, may I, on the occasion of this Commission communication on a maritime policy for the EU, remind this House of the continuing embargo imposed several years ago by Turkey on all shipping associated with the Republic of Cyprus. This embargo inflicts significant damage to the shipping industry not just of Cyprus but of the EU in general... I am speaking English. It would indeed be exciting if we had interpretation from English to English. I was just talking about the embargo that Turkey has imposed on Cyprus for several years now, and I was saying that this is causing extreme damage not just to Cyprus, which is a Member State, but to the EU in general. May I once again ask the Commission to redouble its efforts to convince the Turkish Government to reconsider its decision to continue to uphold this unfair and unnecessary embargo on the shipping of an EU Member State. I understand that we must be soft – rather soft – on Turkey, but our patience is running out. After all, what sort of maritime policy can we have if the ships of a Member State cannot use the ports in the shipping lanes of a candidate Member State? Please, Commissioner, can you reassure us that you will give this matter your urgent and serious attention?"@en1
