EU Presidency declaration on Cyprus

The European Union supports the communiqué issued by the President of the United Nations Security Council on 26 September 2001, and shares in particular in its disappointment at the Turkish party's refusal to take part in the meeting on 12 September. It continues to support unreservedly the efforts of the UN Secretary General to resume (without preconditions, in line with Security Council Resolution 1250) the search for a global, sustainable settlement that complies with the pertinent Security Council resolutions. It calls upon all the parties involved to cooperate in the process to ensure a political settlement before the completion of Cyprus' negotiations to join the European Union.
