Which I don't really see as a disagreement but rather than a different lets say "evaluation" of what would follow.
However I have another evaluation that I did not mention before. That "Primary Law" thing my friend was the 11th demand of the Generals!! And IT-WAS-INCLUDED- in the Plan. Without its full satisfaction the Generals would be leagally covered NOT let the agreement move a single inch! Even your line of prediction of events would NOT satisfy the Generals. So either Cyprus would drop out of the EU or Solution as per Anan Plan yok!
That was the final round of Turkeys Original target originating from 2002 (?) to de-train Cyprus EU road! It surprises me how easily we the Cypriots tend to forget such important statements made in the past.
Actually primary law thing is very important and you can merely say that it was the latest demand of generals, but knowing the legal workings I hope both you and I should agree that it is a necessary demand for the sustainability of the agreement.
I mean we can sit down today and agree on something but some people who did not like the agreement may take the agreements and got rid of all of its derogations from EU law (not just permanent derogation any extra derogations which is not already bargained between RoC and EU before accession will be illegal). So why are we even discussing here id the accepted agreement is going to turn from EU.
Actually IT WAS NOT included in plan. Because knowing the impossibility of satisfying that demand in the last minute, what UN officials come up with is that stupid proposal of writing a letter to EU commission and trying to get it to approve the plan, knowing very well that commissions approval does not mean anything unless it is approved by each state independently, and as a whole at the summit. Are you saying to me that Annan Plan was seeking approval of each member country? I hope not. It was merely seeking an approval letter from EU enlargement commission, which actually means nothing without approval of all the member states.
SO that portion of the plan you are talking about was nothing more than shutting up that demand of TC side with false and hopeless promises, knowing very well that it does not actually mean anything.
But TC side will not do the same mistake again the next time. One thing TC side will definitely demand this time it that same approval without false promises by the commission so that the agreement itself become the primary law. So get ready to convince your fellow EU member states to ratify the agreement together with ratifying the agreement at the summit, if there is an agreement in the future.
Without making it primary law, any derogation we agree on would return from EU. And I know majority of GCs would like that, TCs do not want to accept a solution which will be trashed later on by EU.
In short what I agree with you was that
"There was nothing in Annan Plan taht would derail RoC from EU. What would derail was that some portions of Annan Plan reagrding derogations from acquis extended to TCs would have turned back from EU courts helping further GCs not TCs."
I mean afterall the illegal way you have conducted all the EU accesion talks did not raise any eyebrows in EU why would this derail you out of EU.
(According to your current constituion any foreign policy decision has to to be approved by TC vice president and can be vetoed by TC, I do not remember who approve the whole EU accesion from TC side, let alone I do not know who is your TC vice president. It is simply very conveninet for you guys to keep TCs out of goverment claiming that they do not want to be a part of it. Actually I can further can say that Annan Plan was actually legitimizing many illegitimate things you have done in our absence, like EU accession.)
