After the smuggling of sugar from the occupied territories, the Cyprus Consumers Association informed the government for a smuggling in EURODIESEL, which is sold half the price than in the free areas.

“Our effort is to stop some people from taking advantage of our economy, stepping on laws and vacuums that exist between the occupied and free areas”, Chairman of the Association, Petros Markou stated.

“Our effort is also to protect the Cypriot consumer. The fact that the EURODIESEL price in the occupied north is almost half than that of the free areas is an issue of great concern”, he added.

Similarly, European Commissioner for Protection and Health, Marcos Kyprianou stressed the need for Cypriot consumers to be informed properly by the government.
