Re: The yearly decision is in on Turkey's candidac (4.00 / 2)

To summarise: Free movement of persons would be restricted for Greek Cypriots (but not for other people).

A selective application of the free movement of persons would indeed violate the acquis. But I think that this problem can also be worked around. The free movement of persons has after all also been restricted for the new entrants in 2004 and will once again be restricted for Bulgarians and Romanians when they enter next January 1st. An arrangement is not impossible, provided that it is transitional.

The issue of property rights from before partition is also a sore point, but it doesn't violate the acquis, I don't think.
