UN seeks EU expertise on Cyprus reunification talks
The United Nations is seeking advice from the European Union on the Cyprus reunification talks, a U.N. spokesman said on Wednesday, AP reported. The EU could best assist by assessing whether the working group's proposals are in line with EU laws.
"EU officials are exploring with the parties involved how they can best be helpful," said U.N. spokesman Jose Luis Diaz. One of the ways would be for them to assess whether the proposals of the working groups were compatible with EU law, he said.
EU spokeswoman Klimentini Diakomanoli said three EU officials have met with officials from the island's Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities.
Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias and Talat are set to begin reunification talks in June after a three-month preparation period. The reunification talks stalled in 2004 when Greek Cypriots rejected a U.N. blueprint for the island’s reunification; a plan overwhelmingly supported by Turkish Cypriots.
