The Office of the Commissioner
for Volunteering and Non-Governmental Organizations informs the associations,
foundations and clubs that the House of Representatives has voted to extend
its application on Associations and Foundations and other Related Issues of
Law 2017 (Law 104 (I) of 2017, 76 (I) of 2018) and as amended in 2018. Therefore, the necessary
changes must be submitted by the Associations, Foundations and Clubs by
27/10/2020, in order to be harmonized with the relevant legislation. These
amendments aim to enhance the financial transparency and good governance of
organizations and to create a potentially credible environment for organizations. There have been continuous
extensions for the implementation of the legislation, three years and three
months, time which is more than enough to submit the changes provided by the
legislation. The Office of the Commissioner encourages associations,
foundations and clubs to take advantage of the extension that has been
granted and to continue without delay their harmonization with the
legislation. Visit the website of the
Ministry of Interior or the Commissioner for Volunteering and Non-Governmental
Organizations, there is information about the legislation, the table for
organizations that have not submitted the necessary amendments, standard
statutes, etc. that may be useful: www.moi.gov.cy/moi/moiup/moi.nsf/pagede1_gr/pagede1_gr?OpenDocument For any other questions and
assistance, interested parties should contact the District Administrations,
