It has not had much progress largely because of French and German resistance and Turkey's tensions with Cyprus. 22nd Chapter, Regional Policy and Coordination of Structural Instruments, is mainly about reducing socio-economic disparities between the regions. -Cyprus Emphasizing that Turkey was determined for the solution in Cyprus problem, Davutoglu said the attitude of Greek Cypriot administration did not open the way for the solution."
