30 August Informal EU Affairs Official Booklet Informal Meeting of Ministers and State Secretaries for European Affairs 30 August 2012 Nicosia, Cyprus 1 Published and edited by the Secretariat of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, Republic of Cyprus Welcome address and programme edited by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Cyprus Photographic credits: Photo Section of the Press and Information Office Maps: Department of Lands and Surveys, Republic of Cyprus Printed by Nicolaou Printing Group Information valid as of 31 July 2012. This information may subsequently be updated - please check the pdf version on cy2012.eu 2 3 Welcome Address Dear guests, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Cyprus, the easternmost point of the European Union. It is with great pride and heightened sense of commitment that we take up this most important mission of assuming the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the first time. A responsibility and functional competence cosubstantial to membership and one of the greatest honours bestowed upon the Union’s member-states. I would also like to welcome you to Nicosia, the more than 1000 year old capital of Cyprus and unfortunately still divided. In light of the exceptionally difficult time for the Union, amid an unprecedented economic crisis, Cyprus will strive towards a Better Europe, a Union more relevant to its citizens and the world. In doing so, we will emphasize the need for adherence to the fundamental values and ideals of the EU, ensuring solidarity, social cohesion and a better quality of life for EU citizens. Our vision of a Better Europe acquires a special significance in the current economic and social environment, offering hope and a positive outlook to the citizens of Europe, especially the younger generations. Cyprus’ vision for a Better Europe is interwoven with the moral and material obligations of the ancient institution of filoxenia (hospitality), the sacred host-guest relation of Hellenic mythology. A historic and deep-rooted notion that has not only lent its name to the heart of our 2012 Presidency activities, the Conference Centre in Nicosia, but is also acting as a central message of the Cyprus Presidency. The concept of Filoxenia defines the Cyprus Presidency’s vision for Europe, that of a welcoming place, a space of law, quality of life, culture and shared values. On that note, I welcome you to the Filoxenia Conference Centre where I hope that our vision of “working together towards a Better Europe” will be conducive to our discussions on the new Multiannual Financial Framework for the programming period 2014-2020, striving towards the greatest possible progress.

  • Download the E4 Nature Trail
    ils tra ure nat d other Follow the E4 an us. pr Cy EUROPEAN LONG DISTANCE PATH E4 INTRODUCTION The European long distance path E4 was extended to Cyprus following a proposal by the Greek Ramblers Association to the European Ramblers Association, the coordinating body of the European Network of long distance paths. The main partners in Cyprus are the Cyprus Tourism Organisation and the Forestry Department. The path starts at Gibraltar, passes through Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, mainland Greece, the Greek island of Crete, to the island of Cyprus. In its Cyprus section, European path E4 connects Larnaka and Pafos international airports. Along the route, it traverses Troodos mountain range, Akamas peninsula and long stretches of cural areas, along regions of enhanced natural beauty and high ecological, historic, archaeological, cultural and scientific value. Few people have the time or the stamina to tackle the whole route in one go. The information given here is a general outline, to assist ramblers identify the path route. It is by no means a detailed description of all aspects of covered areas. Ramblers are strongly advised to research further any path section(s) to be attempted, with particular emphasis in the availability and proximity of overnight licensed accommodation establishments, especially in remote mountain and rural areas. It should be stressed that the route by no means represents all that Cyprus has to offer the rambler. It is primarily designed as cross- country route, and as such is inevitably selective, missing out some fine landscapes and/or cultural sites. It does however provide a sampler of the scenic and cultural variety that is Cyprus.

PERMANENT MISSION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS TO THE UNITED NATIONS BZO SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK, N. Y. IOOI7 Ref: 2002/77/2 Excellency, I have the honour to refer to the decision of the President of Cyprus, Mr. Kyprianou, to visit during this month the Greek Cypriot citizens of the Republic in the occupied area of Karpass. This decision, together with a request that the necessary facilities might be provided by the United Nations, was communicated yesterday to your Special Representative, Ambassador Galindo Pohl, who undertook to communicate with the Secretary-General on the subject. Sub- sequently, Ambassador Pohl informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Mr. Denktash places conditions for such visit, to the effect that a letter by the President of the Republic should be addressed to him as President of the so-called "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus", or that a meeting between them be arranged to discuss the matter. The President has the legitimate and fundamental right to visit citizens of the Republic in any part of the territory, particularly when, as in this case, the visit is motivated purely by humanitarian reasons, having regard to the situation of the Greek Cypriot citizens in the Karpass.
