Green Line trade in a nutshell
Green Line trade is the trade between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots across the Green Line in Cyprus.
In other words, as it is explained in EU's Green Line Regulation, it is the trade between the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the government controlled of the Republic of Cyprus exercises effective control and the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which it does not. Rules for Green Line trade are specified in the Green Line Regulation.
According to the GLR goods allowed to cross are those wholly produced/obtained in Cyprus or have undergone their last substantial economically justified processing or working in Cyprus.
Crossing takes places through approved crossing points. Imported goods are not allowed to cross. In addition, live animals and animal products, except sea-water fish & honey are not allowed to cross.
These are the basic provisions. However, additional conditions for each product, such as quality standards, might be applicable. The economic operators are expected to know the requirements for their products in the EU market.
