9. Šiaurinės Kipro religinio paveldo apsauga ir išlaikymas (rašytinis pareiškimas)

  Panayiotis Demetriou (PPE-DE). – Mr President, this is not a point of order, I just wanted to thank our colleagues who signed Written Declaration No 21. My thanks also go to my colleague Mr Braghetto for his solidarity. We tabled the declaration together.

The European Parliament has today once again proved its sensitivity to cultural matters, because the cultural and religious heritage of Cyprus is not strictly speaking a Cypriot matter – it is a European matter. The European Union embraces all the cultures of all the Member States of the Union.
