European Commission adopted 2019 Action Programme for #TurkishCypriot community
The European Commission has adopted an Annual Action Programme for a total amount of €35.4 million identifying new projects to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus. The objective of the programme is to encourage the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community with particular emphasis on the economic integration of the island, on improving contacts between the two communities and with the EU, and on preparation for the acquis communautaire.
Euro and Social Dialogue Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said:“Our aid programme remains as relevant as ever. This new set of projects seeks to improve infrastructure, support economic development, foster reconciliation, and bring Turkish Cypriots closer to the EU. I am confident it will contribute to the settlement effort which is the ultimate goal of our assistance.”
Assistance to the Turkish Cypriot community is provided through the EU's Aid Programme and is managed by the Commission's Structural Reform Support Service. The full press release is available online.
