Based on the newsletter from the Department of Labour Inspection, when importing new or used machinery from the United Kingdom, it is necessary, since Cyprus is now a third country, to check for the existence of a CE marking on the machinery, for the existence of Instructions for use in Greek and that there is a valid Declaration of (EC) Conformity.

For further clarification, Labor Inspection Officer Mr. Andreas Savva is available at tel. 22879033.

We would like to inform you that the European Commission is conducting a consultation regarding the European Directive 2019/633 on unfair trading practices.

This consultation will help the European Commission to assess the impact of the Unfair Trading Practices Directive on the agricultural and food supply chain (“Unfair Trading Practices Directive”) and see what has happened in practice during the first years of its implementation.

In the agri-food chain, imbalances in bargaining power between suppliers and buyers of agricultural and food products can lead to unfair trading practices (UTPs) when larger and more powerful trading partners impose certain conditions and practices to the detriment of smaller suppliers. Such UTPs include late payments, cancellation at short notice or unilateral changes to the terms of supply.

The EU adopted the UTP Directive in 2019, while EU Member States were to transpose it by 1 May 2021 and apply it not later than 1 November 2021. You can find the 2021 National Regulation and the 2023 Amendment at the following links:

The Unfair Trade Practices in the Agricultural Products and Food Supply Chain Act of 2021.

The Unfair Trade Practices in the Agricultural Products and Food Supply Chain (Amendment) Act of 2023.

The consultation is closing on 27 October 2024 at 20:00 and responses are anonymous.
If you wish to participate, please fill in a short questionnaire HERE.
