Not at all, Viewpoint. Please believe me, the impact is HUGE. HUGE
Spot on. The ramifications are game-changing. Markos Kyprianou made some very interesting comments yesterday. I urge people to read carefully what he says:

I will just pick out one aspect that struck me:
The combination of the European and British decision reaffirms that - irrespective of the occupation and the practical weakness of the state to exercise control on the occupied areas - the Laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus still apply. This is a message that must be sent, not only to the citizens, the private buyers, but also to the governments of all foreign states, especially the European ones, and all those carrying out business in the occupied areas; the reminder that anything they do must be done with respect for the Laws of the Republic of Cyprus, and of course this also applies for the European Commission which, through various regulations that have been adopted to strengthen the Turkish Cypriot community, is active in the occupied areas.
Interesting? Don't you agree?
