HC Deb 05 July 1994 vol 246 c139W
Mr. O'Hara

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether it is Her Majesty's Government's policy that the Cyprus problem must be resolved before the admission of Cyprus to full membership of the European Community.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

It would be difficult for Cyprus to accede if the four freedoms—free movement of people, goods, services and capital—were not in force throughout the island, but the Council has confirmed that Cyprus is eligible for European Union membership and the next phase of enlargement will involve Cyprus. The Council will review the situation in January 1995.
