After the Orams defeat the Greek Cypriot government is lashing out at things connected with TRNC. The article below is a good example. A fine is a fine under any name. If they stopped prosecuting EU members for entering through Ercan since they joined EU, it is simply because the Green Line Regulation does not allow them and not because not to overburden the judiciary as stated below.
A fine is a fine under any name and they simply cannot do it unless they want to find themselves at the European Court of Justice and face hefty fines. I hope they try it and learn their lesson the hard way. Common sense is the last thing in Cyprus, both sides.

Cyprus considers fines for entry through illegal ports
By Joe Lewis

THE government is considering imposing administrative fines on people who enter Cyprus illegally through points of entry in the occupied areas.

Despite legislation being in place, Cyprus has waved prosecutions of EU nationals entering in this manner since 2003 under the European Union’s Green Line Regulation on the movement of goods and people, which states EU citizens have the right of free movement within the EU.

The Director of the Civil Registry Registration Department, Anny Shakalli, said yesterday, “We don’t prosecute despite the fact that they have entered illegally because we don’t want to overburden the justice system.”

On Monday, Shakalli told the House Interior Committee that the Legal Services had drawn up a proposal for legislation that would allow for administrative fines to be imposed on people crossing the Green Line, having arrived through an illegal point of entry. This takes on political importance because EU citizens will also be subject to fines.

According to a Legal Services representative, Nicoletta Charalamidou, the Green Line regulation doesn’t concern the matter of EU citizens entering Cyprus from the north, but the ability of EU citizens to cross the Green Line freely. She added that the Republic could not restrict movement across the Green Line, but it is at the state’s discretion to be able to set fines if people enter from an illegal point. “What was made clear is that any EU state has the right to impose fines,” Charalamidou added.

It is likely to be many months before a decision is reached as to whether such fines will be implemented. A spokesman for the British High Commissioner said he was unable to comment until a decision had been made.

They don't do that yet

[G.Man]

Well as they dont allow flights from Istanbul to Larnaca I guess I will have to pay the fine on my company credit card...

Either that or fly via athens..

Certainly not the best way to encourage TRNC to open its ports to GC traffic...

Who give a %$#@ about your farts?????

TURKEY has to open its ports and airports to the RoC. The ports in the occuppied areas are seized by the Turkish army and used illegally by the occupation regime. That is why NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD goes to these ports/air ports except from the occuppying Turkey...

[Viewpoint]

So what Turkey will open her ports one day when she is good and ready, then what?? As Turkey continues on her merry way towards the EU are you any closer to reuniting the island? have you suceeded in gaining the support of the TCs? you have the lost the chance to obtain Maraş and working Famagusta port with TCs but hey that not a problem as long as TCs are kept under isolation and therefore wanting s olution we can continue to use EU leverage to extract what we want. Well done.

[Strahd]

have you suceeded in gaining the support of the TCs?

How can we do that if the TCs are under the control of an occupation regime? In addition to that the majority of the TCs support this occupation regime and supoort the enforcement of their ideas and through military force.

Do you still feel that the occupation goes on so that you are protected from the GC vampires or that it goes on because you want to enforce your apartheid racist policies against 700000 people?

Imo they are hear to ensure neither side does anything stupid (you to have read the posts of people like Piratis & Kifeas) until a solution can be found and you cannot deny that it has worked over the past 32 years, we have all lived peacefully and without fear maybe not utilizing our full potential but rather be safe than dead. Prior to this both sides have shown they cannot be trusted to share and run an independent country for Cypriots without pushing their own hidden agendas.

Strahd obviously you do not know TCs very well, if they were convinced that a future united with GCs was in their best interests and that they would not be throwing themselves into a dark Pitt full of GC intricacy's and repetition of the past you would definitely see an uprising and appeals to the UN EU and international community for help to remove Turkey from the north and that we wish to unite. But as long as your leadership continue to push us further and further away and deeper in the lap of Turkey you will not win win the support of any TCs. Only the enlighten GCs can see this and do from time to time try to convey this to people like yourself but it falls on death ears.

Congratulations Pyrpolizer. According to the spelling check of this form you got 3 spelling errors in one short sentence. Ah well, back to school. It would not be so bad if you realized your own spelling errors instead of blaming others for any difference to your spelling. Check "desparate", "decorateurs" and what about "Rawk"?

Elko,

I think you have missed the joke on the "misspelling" thing. Go and read some of Rawk's posts, then you will get it.
