Dick Leonard April 2006 a Rare Chink of Light in the Gloomy Cyprus
Progressive Thinking for a Global Age Cyprus – a way out of the stalemate? Dick Leonard April 2006 A rare chink of light in the gloomy Cyprus situation is the agreement, just reached, between Tassos Papadopoulos, the President of the Republic of Cyprus, and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Mehmet Ali Talat to meet in Nicosia. Their talks will be confined to talks to discussing the fate of more than 2,000 Greek and Turkish Cypriots missing since the 1974 Greek Cypriot coup and the subsequent Turkish invasion. Could this act as an ice-breaker to persuade both sides to resume meaningful negotiations on bringing an end to the division of the island? Hopes for this are not very high, and a new report by the International Crisis Group, entitled The Cyprus Stalemate: What Next? concludes that the short- term prospects of a constitutional settlement are not good. For this it places the primary blame on the Greek Cypriots and their hard-line government. Papadopoulos has consistently declined to respond to the request of the UN Secretary-General to indicate what changes to the Annan plan would be acceptable to his government, a refusal he maintained when the two men met in Paris on 28 February. The Greek Cypriots defend their position by saying it is unreasonable to ask them to disclose their negotiating position before any new talks are convened. The Crisis Group responds by saying that all recent experience, from the Balkans and elsewhere, is that negotiations never get anywhere unless both sides are willing, at least, to indicate their opening bids in advance. -

Facts relating to the European Court of Justice’s Ruling on the Orams case D. Putting the Orams Case into Context A. BACkgrounD to the orAms LegAL Dispute 1. Linda and David orams (defendants) are engaged in a long-running legal battle with Meletis Apostolides (plaintiff), a Greek Cypriot who claims the land their villa stands on. 2. The orams’, a retired British couple, paid an estimated £160,000 in 2003 for tRnC (turkish Republic of north Cyprus), deeds to their detached villa in Lapta, just outside Kyrenia. 3. On 27 october 2004, Mr Apostolides had papers served on Mrs orams at her Lapta villa while her husband was away in the United Kingdom (UK). the documents were written in Greek and Mrs orams refused to sign for them. 4. Mrs orams eventually found someone who could translate the papers and she discovered that she had received a court summons from the Greek court of south nicosia. By this time, the deadline for making a response to the court had passed and just 12 days after the writ had been issued, the Greek Cypriot court passed judgment in favour of the complainant, Mr Apostolides, ordering Mr & Mrs orams to demolish their house in Lapta, return the land to the complainant and pay him compensation. 5. The time provided by the Greek Cypriot court was clearly insufficient for the defendant to organise a defence in Greek in a foreign territory, and Mrs orams has since lodged a claim that she did not receive a fair trial and her human rights have been breached. -

I do stand fully by my report, including the narrative and the analysis contained therein, the appeals 1 have formulated and the recommendations I have put forward, to which I hope the Greek Cypriot side will respond positively, it follows that 1 do not share your characterization of the conduct of the effort by the United Nations.

European Political Parties and Foundations: the ’Tissue’ That Connects?
EUROPEAN POLITICAL PARTIES AND FOUNDATIONS: THE ’TISSUE’ THAT CONNECTS? POLICY BRIEF | NOVEMBER 2019 https://eurac.tv/9R2x EUROPEAN POLITICAL PARTIES AND FOUNDATIONS: THE ’TISSUE’ THAT CONNECTS? To the average European citizen, the political groups in the POLICY BRIEF | NOVEMBER 2019 European Parliament, which help shape EU-wide legislation, are https://eurac.tv/9R2x a vaguely familiar concept. But there is much less knowledge of the European political parties (as opposed to groups) and the think-tanks that are affiliated to them. The dominant players have traditionally been the European People’s Party (EPP), the Party of European Socialists (PES), and the Federation of Liberal and Democrat parties (renamed ALDE in 2012), all of which were formed in the 1970s, as confederations of national parties from across the European Union. They were joined by the European Green Party and the Party of the European Left in 2004, and then by the European Conservatives and Reformists Party in 2009. Part of that eco-system are the foundations/think-tanks, which are affiliated to each of the parties, based in part on the German Stiftung model, bringing together the think-tanks at the national level. The parties then also have women and youth networks. So what role do the European political parties and foundations play? How do they interact with the European Parliament groups and Commissioners, and how do they affect political and policy co-ordination in Brussels and across national capitals?
