FUTURE OF CYPRUS
Early day motion 451, tabled 18 March 1999 by Lord Corbett of Castle Vale (Labour). Signed by 36 members.
That this House welcomes the progress in negotiations on the accession of Cyprus to the EU; regrets that the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community rejected the proposal for a joint team from both Cypriot communities to conduct the negotiations; and calls upon him to re-start talks to end the division of the island on the basis of UN resolutions without further delay to better ensure a peaceful and prosperous future for all cypriots.
