European Parliament to Investigate Students in Rizokarpaso Following Fourla's Proposal

The European Parliament is preparing a report on students in Rizokarpaso, following a proposal by Cypriot MEP Lucas Fourlas. The report, scheduled for publication on January 30th, is expected to provide a strong foundation for future reports and resolutions on the matter. Mr. Fourlas also proposes sending a European Parliament Committee to Rizokarpaso to investigate the situation firsthand. Simultaneously, the MEP announced a trip to London with a delegation from the EP to negotiate a reduction in tuition fees for European students, as Cyprus has successfully rejoined the Erasmus program. Mr. Fourlas emphasized that it is logical to raise the issue of tuition fee reduction now, given the UK's return to Erasmus.
