"Turkish Cypriots match Green Line trade limits
By Simon Bahceli
THE TURKISH Cypriot �council of ministers� passed a motion on Tuesday, further opening up the north to imports from the Republic.
The move comes in response to a recent broadening of the Green Line regulation, a mechanism put in place after Cyprus joined the EU last May allowing Turkish Cypriots limited access to markets in the south.
�We are trying to say to Greek Cypriots that anything they allow under the Green Line regulation will be matched by the north,� the north�s economy �minister� Dervish Deniz told the Cyprus Mail yesterday.
Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce head Ali Erel welcomed the move, describing it as �a positive development�.
�We have been trying to get the message over [to the north�s authorities] for some time now that we need to reciprocate,� Erel told the Mail yesterday, adding: �One-way movement is not trade�."
