[03] British Foreign Secretary - Cyprus
London, Sep 27 (CNA) - British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, said that
Turkish settlers in Cyprus are one of the main problems in reaching a
settlement on the island, divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and
occupied its northern third.
Speaking at a meeting held in Brighton yesterday on the fringes of the
Labour Party Conference, Cook added that some progress had been made at the
UN-led proximity talks, noting that "Cyprus is in the front for accession
to the European Union".

[10] Finance Minister - IMF - World Bank annual meetings
Nicosia, Sep 27 (CNA) -- Finance Minister Takis Klerides pointed to the
vulnerability of small, open economies to developments in global markets
and suggested diversification of their economies, especially into
production which is less dependent on energy inputs and which can tap into
the globalisation process.
Addressing the Annual Meetings of the Governors of the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Prague, Klerides spoke on how the
global economic situation and the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) initiative against "harmful tax competition" can and are
affecting certain small states like Cyprus.

[11] British MP - CoE - Cyprus problem
by Nikos Markides Strasbourg, Sep 27 (CNA) - British Labour Party MP and
member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (CoE), Thomas
Cox, stressed today that Turkey would soon be challenged at the CoE for
failing to honour its obligations both at the CoE and the European Court of
Human Rights.
Speaking after a meeting in Strasbourg with Turkish occupied Famagusta
Mayor Sophi Phitidou and the Chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of
the CoE Terry Davis, the British MP said that if a country is a member of
the CoE, as Turkey is, then it has " to obey by the rules of the CoE",
adding that "we know very clearly that Turkey is not doing that on many
cases no more so than the Loizidou case".
