2 The ASIL, in collaboration with Oxford University Press, published a monograph that considered, in relation to the Cyprus situation, the role of international law in governmental decision making: Thomas Ehrlich, Cyprus, 1958-1967 (1974). A fuller picture is given in James, Alan Keeping the Peace in the Cyprus Crisis of 1963-1964 (2002)Google Scholar, which is based on now-open U.S. and UK documents. The studies by Robert Holland, Britain and the Revolt in Cyprus, 1954-1959 (1998) and Stephen George Xydis, Cyprus: Conflict and Conciliation, 1954-1958 (1967)—using public and private documents— reveal the international dynamics at work in the period just prior to Cyprus’s independence.

5 The application of the EU acquis communautaire to the Turkish-occupied area (“those areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control”) was temporarily suspended by Protocol No. 10 of the Act of Accession of the Republic of Cyprus (2003 O.J. (L 236) 955), and special arrangements were made under Council Regulation (EC) 866/2004 (2004 O.J. (L 161) 128), known as the “Green Line” regulation. Moreover, arrangements between the EU, the United Kingdom, and Cyprus were made concerning the UK Sovereign Base Areas by Protocol No. 3 of the Act of Accession, which left those areas outside the EU but provided that parts of the aquis (specifically regarding customs, agriculture, and taxation) would apply to them.
