The immediate impact of the failure is that, barring unexpected last-minute developments, Greek Cypriots alone will sign the treaty.European Commission spokesman Jean-Christophe Filori confirmed on 11 March that the enlargement timetable will go ahead as planned and that the EU treaty will be "signed by Cyprus as we know it today".
Prva posledica tog neuspeha je da će, ako ne bude nekih nepredviđenih događanja, kiparski Grci sami potpisati sporazum sa EU. Portparol Evropske komisije Žan Kristof Filori potvrdio je 11. marta da će se proces proširenja nastaviti po planu i da će sporazum sa EU "potpisati Kipar kakav postoji danas."
