The news that the Green Line Regulation has been enriched with new products is reported by today's Turkish Cypriot press.
As reported by the Press and Information Office (PIO), the "Kibris" writes today that as a result of talks held with the European Union by the Turkish Cypriot "cooperative of shopkeepers, artisans and producers" (EZKOOP), processed products such as olives (green, crushed and black), carob and grapes have been included in the Green Line Regulation.
EZKOOP "general secretary" Ershun Aitats recalled that after the 1994 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union, even if products from the occupied territories were exported to countries such as Austria and England, these products were sold with a 16% duty.
He also noted that until recently the export of products such as olives, carob and grapes was not possible through the Green Line Regulation, but with the inclusion of the above products under this regulation, the customs duty is abolished.
He said that olive oil will be exported in the first stage, adding that such initiatives are a "light of hope" for producers. In conclusion, he urged producers to work for quality production so that they can export their products through the Green Line Regulation.
EZKOOP President, Hurrem Tulgah said that by bringing these products under the Green Line Regulation, on the one hand, the duty is removed and on the other hand, the doors are opened for global trade and producers are encouraged.
He also noted that after the inclusion of these products under the Green Line Regulation, demand for them started to emerge from the free regions as well.
