(South) Cyprus must cut back on its spending to save 175 million euros this year in a bid to contain its public deficit at 6.0 percent, the island's finance minister, Charilaos Stavrakis said on Friday.



The European Commission decided to take disciplinary action against Cyprus for exceeding public deficit limits above the EU ceiling of 3 percent of gross domestic product.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem for them, they'll just invite a few more multi-billionaires over from Russia so that they can launder the dosh into legitimate funds, at a fee, of course! RoC has plenty of expertise in these matters!

Still not sure why people class the South as the dark side.



But that is just me

Msg 3

Simple, in the Northern Hemisphere it comes darker sooner in the evenings (dusk) further south to the equator the Country is. The RoC is further south towards the Tropic of Cancer than the TRNC, so it becomes darker sooner! Clear as mud?!

I am assuming that is not really the reason why people in the North call it the dark side.

Don't need any help thanks mate. I know where is the dark side and it certainly is not here.

Star Wars.



Darth Vader, The Dark Side = RoC.

Luke Skywalker, The Force = TRNC.
