11 DIVISION OF THE ISLAND 1974 Association Agreement (1973) UK became EU member (1973) Greece became member (1981) Vested interests Greek junta regime staged a coup d etat against the Greek Cypriot president Makarios Claimed the annexation of the island to Greece Violation of the London Zurich Accords Turkey staged a unilateral intervention revoking its right of interference Internationally recognized Greek Cypriot administration and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus that is only recognized by Turkey

12 ROLE OF UK String economic dependence between Cyprus and the UK 1950s, 1960s Cyprus exports to UK 1961 UK s application to EEC-1963 Gaulle s veto EEC s involvement----more economic and package deal with the UK

13 Cyprus applied for EU membership 1990 Cyprus official candidate 1997 CONDITIONALITY: SOLUTION, POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IS NECESSARY CONDITION FOR CYPRUS ACCESSION OT THE EU UNTIL HELSINKI SUMMIT 1999 According to the 1960 Constitution which stipulates that Cyprus cannot join an international organization of which Greece and Turkey are not members Turning point Full member of the EU (2004) MEMBERSHIP TO THE EU WITHOUT A SOLUTION THE PROBLEM IS CARRIED TO THE EU LEVEL INTERNAL PROBLEM OF THE EU

14 Commission opinion of 1993 The Commission feels that a positive signal should be sent to the authorities and the people of Cyprus confirming that the Community considers Cyprus as eligible for membership and that as soon as the prospect of a settlement is surer, the Community is ready to start the process with Cyprus that should eventually lead to its accession

15 The external relations of the EU are decided by unanimity VETO POWER OF GREECE Ban on Turkish Cypriots exports to the EU states Exports originated from confiscated property of Greek Cypriots and therefore had to be certificated by the Republic of Cyprus.

16 GREEK VETO I Turkey s customs union negotiations acceptable date was given for the start of negotiations for the accession of Cyprus. (1994, 1995) 1997 Luxembourg Summit: Cyprus is official candidate The division of the island remained the obstacle to its accession to the EU Turkey: application of the Greek Cypriot side for membership in the EU had no legal basis 1960 ToG: Cyprus can not join international organizations, political and economic unions of which both Turkey and Greece are not members.

17 GREEK VETO II Helsinki Summit 1999 Greek veto on Eastern enlargement---cyprus membership EU has accepted Cyprus as a full member independent of a resolution of the conflict Cyprus s membership does not necessitate a settlement over the division of the island----yes TO TURKEY S CANDIDATE STATUS
