(40)Pending the reunification of Cyprus, Article 1(1) of Protocol No 10 on Cyprus to the 2003 Act of Accession suspends the application of the acquis in the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control. Consequently, the Cypriot Government may not be held liable for any consequences of not supervising the application of Union law in those areas. Pursuant to Article 3 of that Protocol, nothing is to preclude measures with a view to promoting the economic development of those areas. Such measures are not to affect the application of the acquis under the conditions set out in the Accession Treaty in any other part of the Republic of Cyprus. A bi-communal working group may be constituted in relation to ‘Χαλλούμι’ (Halloumi)/‘Hellim’ since experience has shown such groups play an important role.
