lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Republic of Cyprus, acting according to international law and having signed agreements with its neighbouring countries, has initiated an official exploration within its exclusive economic zone for hydrocarbons. Turkey has never accepted this legitimate fact. In 2008, Turkish warships repeatedly harassed the vessels conducting oceanographic research in Cyprus’s exclusive economic zone. In the light of the drilling process, Turkey, at the highest governmental level, has repeatedly threatened Cyprus, demanding that it abandon its lawful rights. The threats are becoming facts. Warships have been dispatched, and a so-called agreement with the occupied part of Cyprus for exploring the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus concluded. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea was ratified by the European Union and is thus part of the which Turkey, as all European Union candidate countries, is expected to respect and be bound by. Instead, it chooses to ignore it. Turkey is undermining the sovereign rights of an EU Member State and Community law. It is escalating its unilateral action, jeopardising the peace process for the solution of the Cyprus problem and endangering stability in the Mediterranean Sea. My group strongly believes that any further instability in the region would be to the detriment of the people of the region and of the EU itself. The EU must send Turkey a very clear and strong message that its action is violating international and European law and that it has to stop. This behaviour is unacceptable. There is now an even greater need for EU solidarity with Cyprus, and we call upon the UN Council to demonstrate similar solidarity in a very clear manner."@en1
