In a cordial atmosphere we were able to exchange views on a number of issues of common interest and to develop a fruitful and constructive dialogue. It would be a pleasure for the Legal Service and for us to reciprocate this visit to the Heads of the two jurisdictions of the CJEU and to our Cypriot colleagues."
