Re: Cyprus calls for applications from those hit by 2013 Haircut
Lets hope they get full compensation. It affected a few people who had proceeds from house sales taken, before they were transferred to the UK. Hi John - unfortunately, from what I have read, I don't think it will be full compensation: "partially replenish losses incurred by depositors and bon...

Cyprus calls for applications from those hit by 2013 Haircut
Not sure if anyone on here was caught up in the 2013 Haircut - but this popped up on NewsInCyprus and thought given the short notice it was worth sharing: Cyprus calls for applications from those hit by 2013 Haircut The Cyprus Finance Ministry called on all those who were affected by the 2013 Cyprus...

Watch the first stunning images of the total solar eclipse as it crosses the North American continent. The total eclipse became visible on the coast of Mexico at 11:07 local time (14:07 EDT; 19:07 BST), as crowds on the beach went wild. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-68758521 Cheers S...

Re: Road Tax Renewal - no longer through JCCSmart
Road Tax renewal Does his mean that every January when I come to tax my Car, which is kept at the airport, I cannot use JCC and have to find another way to pay this tax from the UK. Anyone with a concrete idea on how this will work? Yes - it works as it says - instead of going to JCC Smart to pay y...

Re: Road Tax Renewal - no longer through JCCSmart
The point is, if the Min of Transport is in such chaos now, how could they handle all the registrations for new road tax cum next January?

Re: Police meet to discuss criminalisation of false complaints
Think this may be misunderstood - the new bill under discussion is not related to false/fake complaints about businesses.
It relates to fake and/or malicious complaints made against police officers, which would become a criminal offence under the proposals.

Re: British husband to face murder charges after all
Whilst completely understanding the need to ensure that the law is followed and that we need to be mindful that the circumstance fit the charge. It would seem to me to be unusually cruel to offer a charge of manslaughter only to withdraw that after several weeks/months of discussion. Surely there mu...

The EU has made a ruling that may well affect ex pats in Cyprus, unfortunately in a negative way. I consider that to be unnecessary... The EU hasn't made a ruling - this was part of the withdrawal agreement negotiated by the EU & UK. As agreed during a transition period from 1 February to 31 De...

Re: Ben Fogle's Lost Worlds - Cyprus
Yes, its true that Greek Cypriots want a solution , but ONLY on their terms. Which as I understand it involve a return to the situation when the UN issued their resolution in a UN resolution based on the ceasefire lines circa 1974. From which they refuse to move forward. Sorry but that simply is no...
