As I said earlier, given the method of negotiations that we have adopted, measurement of progress is an extremely difficult thing to do because of the absence of the second point that you referred to which is face to face negotiations. No actual give and take in the usual sense is occurring, so I can't report to you that today it was agreed to do such and such thing. That is not how the progress is going to be measured. I am afraid it is going to be slow. We shall only see whether it works once we have a package deal at the very end.
Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
And more specifically on your second question, as I have said before I don't foresee moving to a face to face format anytime soon. It's a very good question actually because I am sure there are lot of people who are confused at the two events if you can characterize in that way the accession partnership issued on 8th November by the European Commission. The Secretary-General 's oral remarks to the parties occurred on the same day and this was a fortuitous coincidence. We continue to believe that certain external factors over the last year and a half or two are by and large a positive force that should help energize the process concerning Cyprus. Beyond that, I don't believe that there is any point in my commenting on specific episodes in those external factors.
