Omirou met officials of the European Parliament and its committee
for environment, healthcare and security of food at Nicosia, on the

chairmanship in the EU with full efficiency, adding that the state
could use experience of other members, instruments, foundations and
opportunities to increase EU expenses for ecological purposes.
