Parties with reservations, declarations and objections
Cyprus
17-04-2014
In accordance with Article 16, paragraph 1, of Protocol No. 3, the Republic of Cyprus
declares that Protocol No. 3 shall apply exclusively to all local authorities, Municipalities
and Communities as defined, created and functioning respectively under the erstwhile
relevant Laws of the Republic, i.e. the Law on Municipalities and the Law on Communities.
In accordance with Article 3, paragraph 5, of the Convention, the competent authority,
under the Law of the Republic of Cyprus, to exercise control or supervision with respect
to the local communities and authorities covered by the Outline Convention (as well
as for the implementation of the Convention and its Protocols), is the Minister of
Interior and any other person authorised by the Minister for this purpose.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would also like to reiterate its objection, as this
was submitted to the Council of Europe on 8 September 2011, related to the reservation
made by the Republic of Turkey on 11 July 2001, in its ratification instrument of
the Convention (ETS No. 106), limiting cooperation to local administrations of states
with which the latter has diplomatic relations.
