FOREIGN MINISTER Giorgos Lillikas has put forward a new government proposal regarding direct trade with the north in a meeting he had with his German counterpart yesterday.

The government claims the plan is part of a continuing initiative to enhance financial support for Turkish Cypriots.

An important part of the proposal is the assignment of a designated area at Larnaca port for the export of Turkish Cypriot products, providing that they have been checked and cleared from Turkish Cypriot employees. Turkish Cypriots will also be exempt from paying additional taxation.
