There is huge potential, based on national and EU policies, Andreas Mavroyiannis, the independent candidate for the presidency of the Republic, said during a tour of two major industrial units in Limassol.
In his statements during his visit to Muskita Aluminium Industries and Lordos Plastics, Mavroyiannis said that industries like these "bring honour to our country and can be a shield for the shielding of the Cypriot economy, but at the same time they can be the factor that will lead the Cypriot economy to a promising future, both domestically and in terms of exports".
"We heard the problems that exist in the industrial sector, the problems where state support is lagging behind, the problems where the state, through its procedures, is putting obstacles instead of helping the local industry," he added.
He also said that "there is huge scope, in a modern European economy and based on our and the EU's policies, to give a decisive impetus, to solve most of the problems and enable these pioneering units to continue to meet the needs and ambitions of our country".
Finally, he said the industry can go further if it receives sound support and "it does not require subsidies, it requires that conditions be created to help it flourish and that is the requirement."
