EU Unaware of Amendments to Green Line Regs

[kiplet]

According to lcgnews....

The Greek Cypriot government has not notified the European Commission of the amendments made last November, to the rules for the implementation of the Green Line Regulation, which regulates trade between north and south Cyprus, Greek Cypriot daily ‘Haravgi’ reports.

On 27 November 2019 the South Cyprus Cabinet approved an amendment which will ban third-country nationals from crossing into South Cyprus from the north in a bid to curb the uncontrolled influx of migrants.

Interior Minister Constantinos Petrides said that together with the Foreign Ministry, they proposed amending the Green Line code of implementation to prohibit the movement of third-country nationals arriving from an “illegal entry point”, such as Ercan airport to areas controlled by South Cyprus. The ban will not affect asylum seekers. Tourists will also be allowed through, as long as they will not be staying in Greek Cypriot properties.

Old news this was reported weeks ago. In a uk newspaper it said the ROC dont have to apply to the EU to amend the Green Line rules which i thought was under UN control. As I have said before ROC do what they like.
