Pregovori o osam drugih oblasti politike zastali su krajem 2006, nakon što je Ankara odbila da otvori svoje luke i aerodrome za saobraćaj s Kipar, čiji se dio pod upravom Grka EU pridružio 2004. godine.
Talks on another eight policy areas stalled in late 2006 after Ankara refused to open its ports and airports to traffic from Cyprus, whose Greek-run part joined the EU in 2004.
