President. – Mr Purvis, I have received notification that the Council’s answer is due at any moment. In fact, the Council is present in the Chamber and I should ask it to give precedence to answering that question.

Question No 1 by Andrew Duff (H-0761/05)

Subject: Green Line Regulation in Cyprus

Does the Council believe that the recent modification of the Green Line Regulation has fulfilled its purpose of making a significant increase of trade between the North and the South of Cyprus?

Is it an appropriate and adequate response to the political engagement by the Council in April 2004 to assist the development of North Cyprus?
