[01] Cyprus House - Last plenary - Dissolution
Nicosia, Apr 20 (CNA) - The House of Representatives ended its last plenary
session in the early hours today after approving a large number of bills,
including the legislation concerning the much discussed National Health
Scheme, which was finally named General Health Scheme, and a number of
bills dealing with the European Union rules and regulations. The Parliament
has approved its dissolvement in view of May's parliamentary elections.
The plenary meeting began Thursday morning and ended some 17 hours later
due to a heated discussion over the health scheme, which began after a
farewell speech in the afternoon by House President Spyros Kyprianou, who
has decided to withdraw from active political life.
