Cyprus left in the dark over direct trade talks “With all due respect to the Commission, it did not do something that should be done. While in December, it put all these issues on the internal website of the EU, we, as the interested member state, were not informed. Neither was Greece.

“In March, it became known that this was on the agenda of the International Trade Committee of the EP. Our position is that this is also a mistake. Cyprus is a member of the EU and this is not the committee that should be discussing this,” he said.

Christofias said Cyprus and Greece were cooperating closely “to deal with this, let me say, provocation. To me, it is a provocation. And I believe we can deal with it”.
