LOBBYING IN CYPRUS MUST COME OUT OF THE SHADOW

Lobbying in Cyprus remains unregulated and shrouded in secrecy. There is no legislation or regulation of lobbying activities. Due to the lack of any lobbying regulation, there is no specific obligation to register lobbyists or publicly disclose the interaction between public officials and lobbyists. There is also no self-regulation of lobbyists' activities and Cyprus has no professional association of lobbyists.
