Hungarian 2011 EU Presidency interested on Cyprus: F.Minister Martonyi to EuroFora
The incoming Hungarian 2011 EU Presidency shows an interest on Cyprus' issue and the recent UNO-inspired moves, as it resuts from the attitude of experienced Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi when he was briefed by "EuroFora" on the forthcoming Geneva High-Level meetings with UNO's Head ;
"EuroFora" observed that UNO's Secretary General Ban Ki Moon will be nect week in Geneva to deal also with the Cyprus' issue, at the same time with Human Rights and Disarmament, and asked the EU Chairman-in-office if he thought that the EU should not be totally absent from such issues, tjhe repercussions of which may affect it largely in the Future.
Martonyi, after asking to repeat and paying attention to each word, apparently interested, replied to "EuroFora" with a formula which stressed in substance that when there are issues which touch upon EU Members concerning Peace and ReUnification, we (Hugarian EU Presidency ) are for a Solution to be found", naturaly "according to EU Principles", as he agreed with "EuroFora".
Significantly, shortly after our encounter in EU Parliament in Strasbourg, Martonyi decided to meet with Cyprus' Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou, who was invited to fly to Budapest to brief the EU chairman in office just one Day before the Geneva UNO political meetings.
Speaking earlier to "EuroFora", French Minister for EU affairs, Alain Wauquiez, (See previous NewsReport, already sent to Subscribers/Donors), appeared seriously thoughtful, recognizing the importance of the matterr, and did not exclude a closer EU scrutiny, inviting "EuroFora" to "speak anew" about that, closer to the Date fixed by UNO's SG for the Geneva High-Level meeting.
German EU Minister Werner Hoyer, who recently expressed to "EuroFora" , at nearby Offenbourg, (See earlier Publication with other Statements Hoyer gave "EuroFora" then), that he found Cyprus' isse a hard nut to crack, wiould probaby had meanwhile an opportunity to exchange views with Chancellor Angie Merkel, who visited the island, as scheduled, earlier this January 2011, immediatey after Germany got, for the 1st time, a seat inside UNO's Security Council.
Russia's traditional interest on Cyprus' issue is also generally considered as a stable parameter of the equation, whie China was reportedly discussing that during the recent visit of Cyprus' House Presdent Garoyan, and the USA send for a visit a Philip Gordon, under Secretary of State for Europe.

Europe brings Development dynamics at Global Crisis' Summit debates
Thanks also to EU Parliament Plenary's Strasbourg gathering, EU, during the French EU Presidency, managed to integrate the Development issues at Top Debates on the World Summit against the Economic Crisis :
For the 1st time, it's at the same moment with the Wahington G-20 Summit that EU Commissioner Louis Michel co-organizes here with the French EU Presidency parallel mega-events for the "European Development Days", starting from this Week-End and concluding at the eve of a landmark debate in EU Parliament, next Tuesday, on the outcome and follow-up of the Wash.DC Summit.
EU and its Member Countries are the biggest donor for UNO's Millenium Development goals, with 56%, but the 27 are currently struggling to develop a collective leadership in Economic and social matters, that the 15 of EuroGroup (together with the UK and other countries interested to be usefully associated) are starting to spearhead, after the initial success of the 1st EuroZone Heads of State and Government Summit, of October 12 in Paris, according to a New Repport by MEPs Pervench Beres and Werner Langen on the 10 Years of EuroZone (1999-2009) debated Monday and voted on Tuesday.
EU, CoE and World personalities will interact here with Heads of State or Government from Tanzania (African Union chair), Burkina Faso (CEDEAO + UEMOA chair), Zimbabwe (MDC chair), Madagascar, Haiti, Mali, Benin, etc, and some 3000 participants from the Economy, Civil Society, Media, Experts, etc, while the City of Strasbourg adds various related Citizen-events.
Opened by French Secretary of State Alain Joyandet on November 15, and followed by a video-contact with EU Commission President Jose Baroso on the Washington Summit Sunday, the EDD are concluded by Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Monday, while their main concerns cannot be ignored in the Debate that EU Parliament will hold on Tuesday, (followed by a Resolution on Wednesday), jointly on the G-20 Washington Summit and on EU Commission's work program for 2009.
A practical opportunity for EU to reflect where it's better to spend EU Citizens' money...
The move is prolonged in several Paris' meetings of EU chair, French President Nicolas Sarkozy with African Heads of State leading regional Organizations, as from Tanzania (A.U. Chair), Burkina Faso (chair of Economic African organizations), Togo, etc, (in parallel with a Ministerial EU - African Union conference in Ethiopia, followed by a visit to Tchad), logically concluded by a meeting with Robert Zoellic President of the World Bank.
Many have already warned that an eventual aggravation of Development's Gap accross the World might become much more dangerous to Global Economy, Security, Values and Quality of Life, than Global Warming and/or other, even more serious challenges...
Will they find an innovative and voluntarist way to really deal with the Development Gap, which might also contribute to help face the Economic Crisis ?
