North Cyprus Inform

Worker permits

The Chamber of Industry will issue preliminary-permits for bringing in workers from overseas following an agreement signed on Tuesday between Labour and Social Insurance Minister Sonay Adem and Chamber of Industry president Musa Sonmezler. Applications will now initially be made to the Chamber by establishments wanting to import workers. The move is part of attempts to stop illegal employment.

The Turkish Cypriot Contractors' Union will participate in a fair in Britain at the end of this month, an invitation that came after a British court's ruling in favor of a British couple whose holiday home in northern Cyprus was threatened by an international property dispute.

This was evaluated as a significant development because contracting companies in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus individually attended such international fairs in the past too.
