Cyprus industrialists protest white zone designation for Geri-Idalio
Industrialists operating in the Geri-Idalio-Tseri industrial zone near Nicosia are vehemently protesting a government decision from March and June that declared the area a "white zone" for two years. They fear that the Interior Ministry measure under Constantinos Ioannou is a harbinger of permanent restrictions that would practically strangle approximately 50 Cypriot industrial enterprises. The industrialists warn that this policy will kill their businesses.
