AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Road Safety Push: Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades says Cyprus will pilot AI-powered cameras to catch drivers using mobile phones, with penalties aimed at stopping deaths rather than “punishing,” plus new enforcement changes moving camera vans into urban areas and adding fixed average-speed cameras on motorways. Healthcare Staffing: Health Minister Neofytos Charalambides told MPs state hospitals face a shortage of about 600 nurses and floated tightly controlled hiring of non-EU nurses (up to 10% per facility) with Greek requirements, two-year permits, and no shift-supervisor roles. Stray Cat Management: Environment Commissioner Antonia Theodosiou’s team backed a plan to microchip sterilised stray cats and link them to a digital tracking system, after noting that around 2,200 cats are sterilised annually but are currently returned without identification. Parliament & Cost of Living: MPs unanimously extended Cyprus’ reduced fuel tax relief until end of August to cushion summer price pressure. Security & Sovereignty: Cyprus complained to the UN over 520 alleged Turkish airspace violations (plus 23 naval) from March to May, citing drones and fighter jets and urging respect for sovereignty and international law. Anti-Drug Enforcement: Anti-Narcotics police arrested five men and seized about 20.7kg of dried poppy pods in raids across Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca. EU Policy Through Cyprus Presidency: Cyprus’ EU Council presidency backed a provisional deal strengthening EU passenger rights on refunds, complaints and disability access, and EU leaders also advanced the next long-term EU budget talks (MFF 2028-2034) with migration funding debates.
