08/03/2006
Francoise Grossetete, Coordinator of the European Parliament High-Level Contact Group with the Turkish Cypriot community, was satisfied with the meetings held with Turkish Cypriot political leaders.
She said that 'in the coming months we are going to be busy working intensely on the ground in order to show that full implementation of the acquis communautaire is worth working towards,' adding that the best way forward is to ensure the correct spending of the 139 mln euros for the Turkish Cypriots made available for 2006.
“We will bring pressure to bear on the European Commission in order to facilitate this and we will encourage all parties involved to produce proposals for specific concrete projects in order to be able to utilize those funds,” she noted."
