Council Regulation (EC) 866/2004 on a regime under Article 2 of Protocol 10 to the Act of Accession (hereafter Green Line Regulation, GLR) entered into force on 1 May 2004. It defines the terms under which provisions of EU law apply to the movement of persons, goods and services across the Line between the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the government does not exercise effective control and the areas in which it does. In order to ensure the effectiveness of these rules, their application was extended to the boundary between these areas and the UK Eastern Sovereign Base Area (ESBA).

This report covers the period 1 January – 31 December 2013. During the reporting period, the Council, upon a proposal from the Commission, amended the GLR in order to allow EU goods taken out of the areas under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus to be taken back into those areas after pasing through the areas of the Republic of Cyprus not under the effective control of the Government.

The Commission has maintained a constructive dialogue with the relevant authorities of the Republic of Cyprus, the Sovereign Base Area (SBA) Administration on the implementation of the Regulation, as well as with the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce (TCCoC).
