The EC today said that Cyprus has not updated its national civil aviation security programme since its introduction in 2004 and, therefore, fails "to reflect the significant changes introduced into EU legislation since that time".



The Commission says it is "concerned" both at this lapse and at Cyprus's failure to adopt an up-to-date national quality control programme.



"Cyprus can, therefore, not guarantee that all airports, airlines and entities are aware of their respective responsibilities in terms of security, nor ensure that effective national monitoring activities are carried out," it says in a statement.
