So, ich habe mich schlau gemacht und das habe ich gefunden. Ich hoffe, dass englisch hier OK ist...:
Quelle: Regierung der Republik Zypern:
Completion of the Accession Negotiations - Cyprus will become a member of the European Union on 1st May 2004
Latest Developments
During the Copenhagen European Council (12th - 13th December 2002) Cyprus officially confirmed the successful completion of the accession negotiations and was invited to join the European Union on 1st May 2004
The European Commission has facilitated the accession negotiations, organising the acquis communautaire into 31 Chapters. Cyprus begun its accession negotiations with the EU in March 1998 and has successfully completed them during the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002, where it officially confirmed the closure of the last three outstanding chapters, the ones of Agriculture, Financial and Budgetary Provisions and Other.
All Chapters are closed:
Austrian Presidency (1/7/1998 - 31/12/1998)
Science and Research (RTD)
Education, Vocational Training and Youth
Culture and Audio-Visual Policy
Industrial Policy
Small and Medium-Sized Undertakings
German Presidency (1/1/1999 - 30/6/1999)

Exchange rate policy: The Cypriot national currency is unilaterally linked to the ECU (as of 1.1.1999 to the euro) with a fluctuation margin of +/- 2,25% from its central rate. The link has been successfully maintained since 1992. Cyprus wishes to participate in ERM-2 as from accession or even before accession if the possibility avails itself and adopt the euro as soon as possible.
Ich hoffe das beantwortet meine eigene Frage
In Sachen Referendum war ich wohl einer Falschinformation aufgesessen. Wird nicht wieder vorkommen...
