SOUNDBITE (English) Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK), Chair of the Group "President Christofias, your country cannot lead the European Union by its size or strength, so you must lead by example. Lead by example on the economic growth. Use the EU influence to help reunify Cyprus people. Economists say it would add 12 000 euro of prosperity of every family on your island. Lead by example in Europe's fight against crime, intervene against the intricate intrigue of corrupted Cypriot lawyers and property developers who rub holiday homebuyers of their retirement savings. Lead by example in other areas too, not by letting a fossil fuel find fool you into forgetting your island's natural wealth of sun and wind. Not by being mortgaged to Moscow nor by evading engagement with Ankara."

SOUNDBITE (English) Ioannis KASOULIDES (EPP, CY), MEP "Mister Watson, don't you think that by addressing this criticism to a Presidency that has not even started, it's not objective and fair ? Don't you think, particularly, when this criticism is coming from you, who represent a country that has been a colonial power that bares part of the responsibility of the division of this island, with the policy of "Divide and rule" ? " (applause)

Looking at the historical past and analysing it is both useful and NECESARY. In order to:

1. Avoid doing the same mistakes.
2. Have a clear picture of what the intentions and the plans of others against you were and still are and thus take measures to prevent them.

Immediately. In parallel. It should be happening already. One does not exclude the other.

The RoC should make use of her renewable energy sources, provided all the machinery (e.g. PV panels, wind turbines) is produced in Greece and Cyprus, and not imported from Germany, etc.

Also develop WMD, buy S-400 from our Russian comrades and allow Russian fighter jets and frigates to be stationed in our military bases, to strengthen our position in the political spectrum.

Then we can also lead the EU by strength, not?

What's the meaning of this:

Lead by example on the economic growth. Use the EU influence to help reunify Cyprus people. Economists say it would add 12 000 euro of prosperity of every family on your island.

Does the EU give a sh*t about the CY problem?
