Cyprus will focus on shoring up European Union water supplies and on preparation for U.N. climate talks in Doha as the green priorities for its six months at the EU helm, its environment minister said on Friday.

For a nation scarred by a severe drought that forced the import of water from Greece in 2008, its cash crisis will not detract from sharing the lessons of water management across the EU.
