European Commison Can’t Bypass Republic of Cyprus Regarding Direct Trade in the North

The European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee last night upheld by an 18-to-five majority vote, a ruling saying the European Commission cannot bypass the Republic of Cyprus to implement direct trade with the Turkish occupied north.
The EP’s legal service has ruled that the legal basis chosen by the Commission to push through the direct trade regulation was unsuitable.  Its potential adoption could undermine Cyprus’ sovereign rights.
It was a heated atmosphere inside the packed room in Strasbourg last night, with MEPs engaging in passionate debates and analysis regarding the Cyprus problem.
A motion was made to postpone discussion of the issue, but was defeated by a majority vote.
