Funding from the EU Solidarity Fund would support repairs to critical infrastructure damaged in the 2025 Limassol and Paphos fires.

KRONOS GAS DEVELOPMENT - A VIABLE PROJECT FOR COMPANIES - BUT WILL CYPRUS BENEFIT?
On 19 May Cyprus approved the Development and Production Plan of the Kronos gasfield in block 6 by the ENI-TotalEnergies consortium. This focuses on a fast-track, subsea tie-back to the existing Zohr and Egyptian gas infrastructure, to be liquefied at the Damietta LNG plant for export. The estimated 3 trillion cubic feet (tcf) Kronos is planned to supply natural gas to Damietta by 2028

He said that “numerous attempts at reunification have been made during this period, all of which have failed,” and that “in each case the Greek Cypriot south was the proximate cause of these failures”
Cyprus Mail - Our View - AUTHORITIES MUST ENFORCE FMD RULES DESPITE FARMERS' ANGER
It is impossible not to feel sympathy for the livestock farmers who are seeing everything they have worked for – their livelihoods – destroyed by foot and mouth disease. It is also understandable that they would be desperate to salvage something from the devastation caused to their farms by FMD. Violating the law, however, and preventing the authorities from following the FMD protocols is not acceptable. In fact, it is guaranteed to make a bad situation much worse.
