Chrysostomides said ''we are ready and we have approved on the one hand the Green Line Regulation with its expansions, on the other hand we have accepted the financing regulation worth 259 million euros, which can be made immediately available on the basis of the agreed regulation to the benefit of the Turkish Cypriot community but we have objections to the regulation for direct trade.''


He pointed out that the positions of the Republic of Cyprus are well known and noted that the positions of the Council of Europe Legal Committee are also well known.


Asked if the government was concerned over the close shave in yesterday's voting, the Spokesman said ''democracy works with majorities.''

- Sure. When it suits.

the vote would have been alot different if the regs.were seperate.i think the vote would have been like 500-0 for the 259 million and alot wider than the 254-250 for the direct trade like 350-150.many of the mp even thought they know that it is completly wrong the direct trade voted yes so that the turkish cypriots got some help in the form of the 259 million.
