Yes, it does seem that water can only be supplied if the source, as RW puts it, is "Turkish enough"...

... cos am reminded of the debacle over building a de-sal plant at Occupied Siriankhori a year or two ago, something that would have made a very valuable contribution to potable water supply in the Occupied Areas... and which came to nothing with 25 Million Euros of the EU Assistance Programme wasted down the drain of "trnc" intransigence cos the Propaganda Regime of "trnc" thought the skilled workers who were building it were too "greek" and denied them access to the site.

This is how the EU Court of Auditors judged the failure of the project...

"...WATER SECTOR
38. The construction of the seawater desalination plant at Sirianokhori/ Kumköy is not only the main project in the water sector but also the largest intervention funded under the instrument, amounting to ap- proximately 10 % of total contracted funding. The plant was intended to provide 23 000 m3 of clean drinking water per day covering the needs of an estimated 100 000 people. The design of the plant changed con- siderably during the project formulation process. The original proposal had been to build a plant to treat brackish groundwater but this ap- proach was dropped because of concerns over compliance with the Water Framework Directive.
39. Despite its importance, very limited progress was made on the imple- mentation of the contract, mainly due to the Greek Cypriot workers of one of the consortium’s contractors being denied access to the site by the Turkish armed forces and the unresolved issue of the performance guarantee (see Box 2). According to the contract conditions, the Com- mission, as contracting authority, is responsible for providing access to the construction site but in practice this is outside its control.
40. The failure to implement this project represents a significant setback for the overall assistance programme. Water supply is becoming an increas- ingly critical issue for the island following a 40 % decrease in the mean annual rainfall in the past 30 years. Moreover, as one of the purposes of the project was to stop the ecologically unsustainable use of ground- water reserves, the cancellation of the project means that this serious environmental issue will not be addressed. The aquifer is under increas- ing threat from saline intrusion due to over-pumping and pollution from human and agricultural activities...."

Were these GCs workers spies?

Were these GCs workers spies?

Tens of spies cross everyday by just showing their passports...
No spy needs dressing up as a worker...
Why are you hiding the fact that GCs are not permitted to work in the occupied TrashNcan unless they reside there?

You have to get work permits like everyone else, karma is such a bitch GCs working in the TRNC asking for work permits

VP, for once I agree with you. Please in future ban, eject, evict, kick out, throw out ALL GCs looking for work in the occupied areas. You will be doing us a great service. Any GC company wanting to do business over there can go F themselves. Malakismeni.

So why did you ask if they were spies? Don't you have your own brains to figure out what the real problem was?

Skilled CY workers banned from the project who worked for the firm that successfully installed the two de-sal plants in the Free Areas at Dhekalia and Larnaca.

... so the Real Bitch is the "trnc" which has wasted the 25 Million Euros of the EU Assistance Progress pledged for the de-sal plant at Occupied Siriankhori... and yet again "trnc" has Embargoed the CYs of the Occupied Areas who could have been getting not only the 12,500 tonnes of clean drinking water every day that it would have generated but also the distribution system that went with it.

... and 12,000 tonnes a day is reckoned to be sufficient to meet the demands of 100,000 people...

... so every single CY in the Occupied Areas has been denied clean water by "trnc" and they still have to put up with the brown stuff that "trnc" supplies to their taps.

... and instead of getting all that nice clean water, all that the Bitch Regime of "trnc" can offer the CYs up there to drink is the Undrinkable Propaganda of "Project of the Century".

[Lordo]

ohhhh that project is coming. pipeline from terkey. enough water to produce angurga just for the south.

[bill cobbett]

The only fruit Vordo will be trying to shove up anyone's bum is a drought-loving Cactus if he is relying on "Project of the Century" for his su.

Anyway, a real project to supply water is coming and not the imaginary pollocks of the Propaganda Regime of "trnc" cos the European Parliament has given direction to the Commission that another attempt be made to get potable water supplied to every CY living in the Occupied Areas.

Now if only "trnc" would stop its Embargoes and Pipe-dream Propaganda.

This is what the European Parliament said just a few days ago on a new de-sal plant in the Occupied Areas...

6. Stresses the importance of the seawater desalination plant in the northern part of the island for the preservation of the groundwater reserves to alleviate the risk of drought related to the 40% decrease in the annual rainfall in the past 30 years and asks the Commission to rescue and re-launch this project in a way that can contribute to peace on the island and without any discrimination based on the origin of tenders; is deeply concerned that this project failed due to the restrictions imposed on the Greek-Cypriot contractor by the Turkish military forces; asks the Commission to report to the European Parliament any similar discrimination incidents in ongoing and future projects;

We dont need such a plant there will be enough water from for Turkey for everyone.
