Turkish Daily News - "Report: European Parliament comes to terms with Turkey's
conditions on Cyprus protocol":


ANKARA / 17 January 2006



The European Parliament is ready to encourage the European Union Council to
release a financial aid package designed to improve the economy of the
northern part of Cyprus, in exchange for Turkey's implementation of a key
protocol extending Turkey's customs union with the EU, including newcomers
such as Greek Cyprus, according to a Greek Cypriot media report.

In a report titled "European Parliament bows to Ankara's conditions," Greek
Cypriot daily Phileleftheros claimed that it had obtained a copy of a
document in which the Turkish government's stance of refusing to open
Turkey's ports and airports to traffic from EU-member Greek Cyprus was
noted, NTV television channel said. The daily, however, did not elaborate on
what kind of a document it had.

Ankara says that economic isolation of the Turkish Cypriots should be lifted
simultaneously with Turkey's opening its ports and airports to Greek Cypriot
ships and planes. Ankara signed an EU protocol extending its customs union
deal with the bloc to the 10 new EU members, including Greek Cyprus, last
year but said that this did not amount to recognition of the Greek Cypriot
government.

Both the executive European Commission and the European Parliament "bowed
to" Ankara's conditions, Phileleftheros reported, saying that European
lawmakers will call on the EU Council to release the financial assistance
package to Turkish Cyprus that was proposed by the European Commission in
July 2004 to reward the Turkish Cypriots for their support of a
U.N.-proposed peace plan last year.

The 259 million-euro EU funding package has been stuck in Brussels' coffers
ever since due to objections from the Greek Cypriots to the coupling of the
aid to commission-proposed direct trade between Turkish Cypriots and the EU.
With Greek Cyprus, a full member of the EU since May 2004, blocking trade
proposals, the EU last year seemed to have separated the aid and trade
proposals.

Yet, almost half of the total money earmarked for the 2005 budgetary year
was lost because it was not approved by the EU Council on time, leaving no
legal way to release the sum even if the whole package is approved some time
this year.
