==Triggering Question==


In total, three bi-communal co-laboratories took place in July 2007 for which the [[triggering question]]s that were tackled in these co-laboratories were:
In total, three bi-communal co-laboratories took place in July 2007. For the first one, The Economic Integration co-laboratory – Desired Situation envisioned the ideal model of Economic Integration, the triggering question that was tackled was:


The Economic Integration co-laboratory – Desired Situation envisioned the ideal model of Economic Integration. Experts participating in this co-laboratory were asked to visualize the ideal scenario of Economic Integration. The [[Triggering question]] that was tackled in this co-laboratory was:
*“With the aim of economic integration, what are the benefits (opportunities) for Cyprus of free movement of goods and services within Cyprus and the EU?”

*“With the aim of economic integration, what are the benefits (opportunities) for Cyprus of free movement of goods and services within Cyprus and the EU?”
Experts participating in this co-laboratory were asked to visualize the ideal scenario of Economic Integration. At Holiday Inn Hotel, stakeholder representatives engaged for three hours in a structured dialogue focusing on the triggering question:


“With the aim of economic integration, what are the benefits (opportunities) for Cyprus of free movement of goods and services within Cyprus and the EU?”


The Economic Integration co-laboratory – Current Situation explored the obstacles of the current situation and defined the exact nature of the problem, i.e. the problématique. The [[Triggering question]] that was tackled in this co-laboratory was:
In response to the TQ, the participants, economics and business experts, came up with 48 factors (descriptors), which were categorized in 10 clusters. Following the voting process, 16 descriptors received two or more votes, but only 3 dominant statements, received 5 or more votes and those were:


*"With the aim of economic integration; what are the obstacles including perceived threats in achieving free movement of goods and services within Cyprus and the EU?”
Statement #4,Involvement in common economical interests will lead to development of better social dialogue (7 Votes).


The Economic Integration co-laboratory – Actions dealt with designing an action plan. Famagustians identified action options to implement in projects that will help overcoming the current obstacles and achieving the envisioned future. Participants engaged in the following [[Triggering Question]]:
Statement # 27, Cooperation will provide greater understanding generating greater confidence in the relationships (6 Votes).


*“With the aim of economic integration; what actions should be taken to overcome the obstacles and to reap the benefits in achieving free movement of goods and services?”
Statement # 25, Economic parity will remove obstacles to unification, especially fears of GCs that they will have to bear the financial burden & fears of TCs that they will be absorbed by the economically stronger GCs (5 Votes).


==Results==
'''<u>Interpretation of the Results </u>'''
As shown in Table 2 ‘Economic Integration – Desired Situation – Voting Results’, 29 descriptors received one or more votes. If the same five descriptors had received all votes, then there would be a 100% agreement among the members of the stakeholder representatives group in terms of relative importance of the proposed descriptors of the desired situation of economic integration and free movement of goods and services within Cyprus and the EU. Because 29 descriptors received at least one vote, there exists a perceptible disagreement. The degree of disagreement in terms of preference voting, i.e. in terms of relative importance of the proposed descriptors, is an indicator of the complexity of the situation, which leads to a need to engage a stakeholder group in a structured dialogue about economic integration in Cyprus.


On the other hand, level of agreement on the above factors (factor 4, 27 and 25) is undeniable, when considering that 41.2% of the participants (7/17) in the first session had voted for factor 4, whereas, 35.3 % and 29.4% had voted for factors 27 and 25 respectively. This level of agreement is in fact a starting point for a common vision to be built upon.
