Hr. formand, jeg finder det positivt, at formanden for Rådet så utvetydigt gentager EU's løfte om, at tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med Cypern indledes et halvt år efter regeringskonferencens afslutning.
I consider it helpful that the President-in-Office has categorically restated the commitment of the Union to ensure that negotiations with the Cypriot Republic are commenced six months after the end of the intergovernmental conference.
