Port strike on hold, but auditor voices privatisation concerns

The auditor general finds major problems with the privatization/concession deal that was concluded for Limassol port earlier this year. The deal had not been legally vetted or presented to the attorney general’s office for deliberation or consultation. “Limassol port workers decided on Wednesday to give 30 more days to try and resolve a dispute with the general cargo operator over the distribution of work on the dock.”
