The Council of Ministers at yesterday's meeting, chaired by the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Christodoulides, approved, among other things, a bill submitted by the Financial Commissioner to amend the budget of the Single Body for the Extrajudicial Settlement of Financial Disputes. This bill provides for additional appropriations of EUR 120 thousand for the purpose of covering the cost of the remuneration of administrative staff of the body for 2023. The reallocation of appropriations is required until the process of recruiting additional contract staff to staff the Agency is completed. The strengthening of the Commissioner's Office will contribute to the promotion of faster processing and execution of applications.
The Council of Ministers also decided to re-establish the Anti-Poaching Unit, a proposal included in the governance programme, and authorised the Ministers of Interior and Justice to proceed with the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Cyprus Police and the Game and Wildlife Service as soon as possible. Among other things, the Ulamos will have as its main tasks the prevention and suppression of poaching, the provision of all possible assistance to hunters and the training of hunters.
At the same time, the Council of Ministers approved a proposal by the Deputy Ministry of Culture to implement a policy of free admission to monuments, organised archaeological and historical sites, as well as museums belonging to the public sector to teachers upon presentation of an educational card.
It also approved the appointment of Mr. Vassilis Malikkidis as a Member of the Securities and Exchange Commission to replace Mr. Theodoulou, who has tendered his resignation as a Member. Mr. Malikkidis is an Associate Chartered Accountant of renowned standing and training in financial and investment services.
