The mandate given to the IGC during the European Council of June 21-23, 2007 is clear and was agreed upon by all of the Member States. Its objective is to guarantee that the least populated Member States are sufficiently represented and to minimise differences in representation between States. In any case, the terms of this mandate must be respected. Briefly, they are:
-The total number of MEPs is limited to 750.
-A maximum of 96 MEPs per Member State.
-A minimum of 6 MEPs per Member State.
-Citizens' representation must be degressively proportional, i.e. the number of MEPs per inhabitant decreases as a Member State's population increases.

1/ 2007-2009: The current composition of the European Parliament, which does not respect the IGC mandate: there is a total of 785 MEPs, Malta has the fewest number of MEPs with 5 and Germany the greatest with 99. The current allotment does not respect the principle of degressive proportionality.

Malta and Germany are exceptions .....

... the fact Cyprus has SIX has NOTHING to do with the TCs .....

Sotos militarily you never will have the power to make us pay what you say for 1571-1878.

Come to the present day Mr Soros
We have settled the score for 1963-74 on the 20 July 1974. So do you seriosly think that you will take military action against us when you know full well that you will loose Paphos limassol and larnaka

Come on now don't be so balligaris just be happy with you got otherwise you will loose the lot.

If the score is settled then why are you here crying about isolation and the MEPs that you don't have?

[Kikapu]

So all we have to do is field a MEP candidate get all the TCs with "RoC" passports to vote for this person and hey presto we are in the EU. With 2 seperate electoral registers this candidate is a sure winner

Now, why do you think I'm laughing, VP.?

You spent days in trying to make the argument that the TC's in the north could not vote for Zelis in the Eurovision 'No Talent' Song Contest because the south was another country than the north therefore you did not take part to support a TC singer in that competition when you could have done in the same way you are now proposing with the above method for MEP's.!

What happened exactly in the last few weeks that now you think the north is no longer another country and that all TC's with RoC passports are citizens of the RoC and not because they got their passports because of convenience to travel freely without a visa.!

It's funny in watching you make about face on issues that suits you but not on others. I think this is where the phrase
"Double-faced" comes from.!

[Get Real!]

The Greek Cypriot were not so clever to occupy Paphos, Limassol and Larnaka and all the surronding villages and imprisoning all the able men. By that they uprooted the TC from the South and caused the migration to North. Now these people do not want to come back to South so how will the GC from South go back to North?

The runway at larnaka airport belongs to a TC. Most car parking in paphos are bulit on TC land. TC lbulidings are mostly demolished and in some valuable lands the GC put develpomenta and say that they have the money in the bank but will give it after the solution. Come on now!!! is it just the GC that left property and is it just the GC that became refrugees? We had refrugee blocks of houses in Limassol in 1964. Did anyone care?

GC had to pay a price for 1963. And that was paid on 20 July 1974.

Settled the score? The score has yet to begin my little burger meat destined to be squashed between the buns… or do you honestly think your games will continue for eternity?

And there I was beginning to believe Turkey came as a guarantor power because the sovereignty of Cyprus was being compromised ... when all the while it was simply political interference!

Ya... oddly enough, EOKA-B and their backers were still in power after the intervention of Turkey. Neither the so-called president of "RoC" could stop them, nor the so-called leftist "resistance fighters". Had international community not been able to stop the 3rd phase of Turkish intervention; Turkey would have overpowered them though would have caused much more bloodshed. Then? Would united Hellenes accept political equality of TC community. NO of course! It was/is quite clear. The only way to solve the Cyprus problem is partition. It's a question of time that is directly and mainly related Russian and Chinese political stance towards Cyprus.

No Oracle Turkey came in with full military force to stop Enosis that Mr Nicos Sampson announced on the 17 July 1974. His exact words on that night on PIK TV were ......this is Hellenic Republic of Cyprus.

It only suited GC to claim that Cyprus is and independent Republic after the successful intervention of Turkey however from 1963 to 1974 there was not a single Cyprus flag anywhere on the island suddenly after 20 July 1974 all GC remembered that R o C is an independant republic and all over the Cyprus the flag (which is designed by a Turkish Cypriot) appeared. Who are you kidding you clever sods?

Says who?

... an insignificant, traitorous minority!

Turkey doesn't care what the TCs think ... why should we? whom you betrayed!

[limasol]

Why have all the Greek flags (in the island) replaced by the Cyprus flags suddenly after july 1974?

who are you kidding you clever sods? You are all Greeks and proud to be Greeks so be real and own up to it and stop that nonsense of being Cypriots !!!!
