Where did you get this utter rubbish from?
They are not ignorant of this non-recognition fact ... because this quote is from the DEFRA government site which they link on their sham "pet kennels in the trnc".DEFRA-UK.gov wrote:The EU does not recognise the area of Cyprus to the north of the buffer zone. Therefore, under EU Regulation 998/2003, that part of Cyprus is regarded as a non-qualifying third country and the UK is obliged to treat it exactly the same as all other non-qualifying third countries.
I don't know who this DEFRA is but they got their wording wrong because it should read...
"The EU does not recognize the ADMINISTRATION of the area of Cyprus to the north of the buffer zone."
...and not the area itself which IS regarded as part of the EU.
Well if it is that important ... should I contact them.
DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and is a UK Government Department.
The Minister is (my favourite chap who will be PM after labour lose the next election, then get back in again) the Rt. Hon. Hilary Benn (son of our friend Sir Tony Benn) who is the Secretary of State.
.... and check on imposing stricter rules to prevent the introduction of Rabies to Cyprus by these unrecognised illegitimates!
According to the DEFRA information available on their site, I gather, that is just a technicality because of quarantine requirements:
It appears it is the administration over the north which is not recognised for implementing the safeguards needed for quarantine laws. Hence the north for these purposes is placed in a special group called "non-qualifying" countries even though the territory is EU.
So effectively pets/other animals visiting the north would be treated the same as those visiting any other "non-qualifying" countries for entry of animals to the UK; which means they would face 6 months quarantine should those owners (# see below) wish to return to the UK.
Similarly if any of the owners (#) wish to visit the south with their pets they would face 6 months quarantine as imposed by the RoC because the RoC administration is recognised not only as EU, but also a "qualifying" country for the pet travel schemes operative within most other EU countries.
(#) It is the pets that would face the 6 month quarantine not the owners
This is living proof that Greeks/GCs do what they do best, find any old excuse to disrupt a peaceful thread by hijacking it and trying to scare people to stay away from the TRNC.
If you want to talk about a different subject little sock-puppet why don't you open another thread, after all, you have opened countless useless threads and know how to create another one.
