lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like to start by welcoming the President of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Parliament. Cyprus is a small EU Member State, several dozen times smaller than almost any other EU Member State, with a population equivalent to one-quarter of the population of Berlin and one-tenth – if I am not mistaken – of the population of London. At the same time, it is a state of which one-third of its territory is occupied by a country seeking accession to the European Union. However, only if such a state is unanimously supported by the other 26 Member States and by every Member of the House can we prove that the Union sees itself as a league of neighbours of equality- and solidarity-based states and nations. Cyprus, a small country under semi-occupation, needs the defence of the European Parliament’s shield. We call on the European Union to respond in a clear and official manner to Turkey, which never tires of repeating that it will have nothing to do with the Cypriot Presidency. The only response is that the Commission and the Council should have nothing to do with Turkey until such time as it recognises the Presidency of the Union. We are currently in the grip of a crisis which is literally bleeding households dry. The so-called markets are operating with impunity and the complete lack of supervision in the financial sector is causing sovereign debt to rise and pushing the workers into poverty and humiliation. We call on the European Parliament and the Union to support the priorities of the Cypriot Presidency and its social message of eliminating poverty, especially child poverty, promoting peace in the Mediterranean and completing the common asylum policy."@en1
