Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Cyprus.


Cyprus

May I gently suggest something to my hon. Friend? I might be wrong, but I think that he needs to be a bit careful about this point. I understand that Cyprus as a whole joined the EU, but that the EU rules cannot apply to the north part of it, because that is not under the control of the Cypriot Government. So all of Cyprus, not just part of it, is a member of the EU. That is an important legal point, as he will understand.
