Text to insist on transport implementation
EU foreign ministers are expected to agree today on the final text of the declaration designed to counter the unilateral declaration issued by Turkey after it signed the EU customs protocol in July and in which it said that it did not recognise the Republic of Cyprus.
British High Commissioner to Cyprus, Peter Millet, told journalists on Tuesday “we have a text that has emerged from ministeral discussions and that has resolved the issues as far as red lines are concerned”.
Britain is currently holder of the EU six-month rotating Presidency.
He said that “points of principle have been resolved by the ministers” and that he was “reasonably confident that we will get a positive result on the counter-declaration” at the COREPER meeting today."
