EU: Republic of Cyprus

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the decision to admit the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union on 1 May 2004 in the light of recent reports about the role played by Greece in making the decision; what impact this will have on the suitability of the Republic of Cyprus to take on the presidency of the EU in 2012; and whether they will publish relevant papers.
Answer

We are not aware of any such reports and see no connection between the preparations that the Republic of Cyprus are currently making to take on the presidency of the European Union in 2012, and their accession to the EU in 2004.
