The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs.Anita Demetriou had a meeting with Cypriot MEPs today at the House of Representatives, in the presence of Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides and the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign and European Affairs, Mr.Harris Georgiades. The meeting is part of the announced initiative of the Speaker of the Parliament to strengthen institutional cooperation between the House of Representatives and Cypriot MEPs and the already expressed, during the first meeting, unanimous will for regular exchange of views and coordination on European issues.
During the meeting, important topical issues of European policy and legislative nature were discussed and views were exchanged on ways to strengthen cooperation between the House of Representatives, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus. In particular, issues of further strengthening of the CEIU in the direction of more active support to Cypriot MEPs in the exercise of their duties were discussed. They also discussed the results of the dialogue held at pan-European level, in the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe.
The President of the Parliament, after praising the excellent relations between the House of Representatives and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cypriot MEPs, underlined the great importance of these meetings in order to ensure continuous communication and coordination of actions between the institutions involved in the participation of the Republic in the EU, which is considered necessary especially for Cyprus. The aim, as the President of the Parliament stressed, is to hold a new meeting before the end of the year in order to examine the progress made on the basis of what has been agreed.
