Parties meet on expediting EU�s trade measures
A DEAL was struck yesterday on the Green Line regulation, between European Commission official Leopold Maurer and the government, it was reported last night.
Based on the proposals tabled by the government, the transport of goods would be allowed through the government-controlled areas, without the Turkish Cypriots paying VAT to the state.
The tax would be paid to the destination country and products would not have to be registered with the VAT commissioner since they would be shipped to Europe.
Any Turkish Cypriot imports should come through the country�s legal points of entry while the EU regulation would stipulate the trade of fish and manufactured products."
