In other words, nobody cares and Turkey can't do fuck all despite all this "power" she has!
Oh oh! All that "Hellim" is going to lie around going rotten!

Maybe they should call it the “New Ottoman Hellims” to match the “New Turkish Lira”!

MEPs consider allowing EU trade with northern Cyprus

European Parliament to discuss controversial trade plans.
The political leadership of the European Parliament will discuss on 10 June a controversial proposal that would enable the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus to trade directly with the European Union.
The government of Cyprus has been blocking the proposal from the European Commission since 2004 in the EU's Council of Ministers. But changes made by the Lisbon treaty mean that Cyprus no longer has a veto over the issue and MEPs have acquired powers of co-decision over what the Commission considers to be a matter of international trade.
The Cypriot government, which represents the Greek part of the divided island, fears that the law could be approved before the end of the year. The proposal is so controversial that Vital Moreira, a Portuguese centre-left MEP who chairs the international trade committee, has referred it to the Parliament's conference of presidents – the leaders of the political groups – asking them to “consider the political implications of this dossier”.
If adopted, the direct trade regulation could unblock Turkey's bid for membership in the EU. Eight chapters of Turkey's accession talks are frozen because Turkey has barred Cypriot traffic from its ports and airports as long as the Turkish Cypriots cannot directly trade with the EU. The Turkish government has said that it will allow Cypriot traffic if the regulation is adopted, a position reaffirmed by Egemen Bagis, Turkey's Europe minister, in Istanbul earlier this month (7 May).
