FOOD AND WINES
Gourmets
will particularly appreciate what Cyprus has to offer, as Cyprus cuisine consists
of dishes very rich in taste, and unique in specialties.
Within the very large
range of the Cyprus cuisine, three favorites are:
- "Meze", a rich
collection of more than 20 different appetizers and savories.
- "tava",
a lamb stew with plenty of onions and tomatoes,
- "stifado", a stew
of beef or hare, cooked with wine, vinegar, onion and spices.
 The products of local marine aquaculture, sea bream (tsipoura), sea bass (lavraki)
and prawns (garides) are becoming popular among the Cypriots and the tourists.
Cyprus
wines, famous in antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages, are more than maintaining
their tradition by becoming increasingly competitive in the International market.
The quality of Cyprus table-wines ranks with the best in the world and the great
variety provides a match for every kind of food and every palate.
Approximate cost for a bottle of Cyprus wine of 1 liter ranges from CY£1.50 -
£3.50

FOREIGN INVESTMENT
Attracting
foreign capital has always been one of the primary objectives of the country's
development policy. The Central Bank will approve a foreign investment proposal
provided it contributes towards the introduction of high technology, better management
in marketing methods as well as towards the improvement of export prospects for
Cypriot products or enrichment of the tourist product.
Non-residents
wishing to acquire any share or participation in a Cypriot legal entity must obtain
a permit from the Central Bank, under the provisions of the Exchange Control Law.
The application to the Central Bank must contain the requisite information i.e.
share capital, economic activities, financial requirements etc. and a copy of
the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association. The foreign investor is
also required to submit satisfactory bank references from his own bankers abroad.
Applications concerning
direct investments are considered by the Central Bank in consultation with the
appropriate government departments. Normally, the administrative procedure is
completed within 30 days by which time the applicant receives an official reply.
Once the foreign investor has obtained the approval of the Central Bank, he is
free to proceed with the implementation of his project. Permission for the repatriation
of capital or capital appreciation, profits, dividends and interest arising from
a foreign investment in Cyprus is freely granted. There is no prescribed maximum
percentage of profits that may be repatriated each year, or minimum period before
which the foreign investor may dispose of his equity.
Foreign
investors may avail themselves of ready sites in industrial estates, training
schemes for their labor force and other facilities offered by the authorities
at low costs. Of particular relevance to foreign investors are: Cyprus' Customs
Union with the EU, favorable treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences,
and excellent relations with the region, all of which enhance export prospects.
The general advantages offered by Cyprus are enhanced by considerable tax and
other incentives enjoyed by resident and non- resident investors alike. |
