"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to report to Parliament what has happened with regard to the exhibition ‘The Promotion of Cultural Values through the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Occupied Cyprus’, held from 17 to 26 November through the Committee of the Regions.
On 17 November, following the opening, the head of the Communication unit, Wolfgang Petzold, ordered exhibitors immediately to suspend the exhibition on the grounds that the panels depicted captions which were different from those which had been agreed.
I had the correspondence including the request for authorisation sent to me, and I verified that there was no difference between what the office itself had authorised, and what was exhibited. It also emerged that the curator of the exhibition was told, by the same head of unit, to remove the terms ‘occupation’ and ‘Turkish invasion’. I phoned the head of unit a number of times to clarify what took place, but neither the director in question, nor members of his staff agreed to speak with me. A few hours after I reported these details, the exhibition was reopened.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that what took place in the Committee of the Regions was a serious and harmful violation of the rights of an EU Member State."@en1
