Indeed, in paragraph 92, the Secretary-General says “it is evident that these developments have had an adverse effect on the intercommunal talks”. 29. In this connexion I must also draw attention to the continuation of statements from many Greek Cypriot quarters, including the highest ones, professing for the future of the island an ultimate political objective other than its permanent independence. Such statements, particu- larly when they are made by persons who now occupy most of the responsible positions, are bound to have negative effects on intercommunal trust and thus on the enlarged intercommunal talks, the purpose of which is to explore the constitutional possibilities with a view to re-establishing permanently the independent State on the basis of the partnership of its two constituent communities. 30, In paragraph 94 of his report, the Secretary-General says: “Progress in achieving a return to normal conditions has been noticeably slow. The public services rendered to members of the Turkish Cypriot community remain inadequate in some respects.” Chapter III gives a detailed account on this subject. One notes with regret that, after almost a decade, the Turkish Cypriot community, which, as I have had the sad duty of reminding this Council on more than one occasion, is the major, if not the exclusive, sufferer from the present stagnation in relation to returning to normal conditions, still continues to live under conditions of severe deprivation and discrimination, even in such public service areas as electricity, water and mail.

The text mentions issues related to public services, discrimination, and economic development, which suggests that it may relate to the daily lives of people rather than specific industries or sectors.
