The EU Council of 26 April 2004, considering that the Turkish Cypriot community (TCc) had expressed their clear desire for a future within the European Union, recommended that some of the funds earmarked for the northern part of Cyprus in the event of a settlement should be used to put an end to the isolation of that community and to facilitate the re-unification of Cyprus by encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community, with particular emphasis on the economic integration of the island and on improving contact between the two communities and with the EU. Responding to an invitation from the Council, the Commission proposed a comprehensive package of aid and trade measures and, as a consequence, on 27 February 2006 the Council agreed on the Regulation (EC) 389/2006, establishing an instrument of financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community. The overall objective of the energy project is to prepare the Turkish Cypriot community for implementation of the acquis communautaire in the sector. The objective of the project is to prepare the monitoring of the emissions of specifically the thermal power plants and to establish their impact on the environment.
