I believe this is a process which will take some time. My understanding is the direct trade issue will be passed by whichever committee it is before at the moment (trade?), then it has to go before the European Parliament for sanctioning by majority voting.

In that case I wouldn't be surprised if the GCs were behind the volcanic eruption! It was obviously a ploy to scupper the direct trade implimentation.

Cyprus set to appeal over regulation



NICOSIA - Minister of Foreign Affairs Marcos Kyprianou has expressed the government's readiness to appeal to the Court of the European Communities, in order to avert the implementation of the proposed regulation on direct trade of the EU with the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus.



''We will use all the institutional and political procedures we have at our disposal, and even if the regulation is promoted in the end, we will appeal to the Court of the European Communities,'' Kyprianou said after attending a meeting on Wednesday of the parliamentary Committees on Foreign and European Affairs.



Kyprianou briefed the members of the two committees on recent developments and reiterated that the proposed regulation was based on an incorrect legal basis.



He added that if its aim was to facilitate Turkey, then it would fail since it would have quite the opposite effect, and that promoting the regulation would undermine efforts to solve the Cyprus pr

Speaking during the meeting, Kyprianou pointed out that the regulation was never withdrawn by the European Commission or dismissed by the Council, adding that proposals that are not adopted are usually withdrawn after three or four years.



However, he said, the proposed regulation for direct trade has been pending for six years, and expressed certainty that the Lisbon Treaty gave the European Parliament the opportunity to promote the regulation.



Kyprianou referred to the background of the regulation and pointed out that the Republic of Cyprus had never been actively briefed before or after the regulation was submitted, despite the fact that many objections had been raised.
