What the document holds

Government Spokesman statement (12 Mar 2026) welcoming the European Commission's decision (notified 'yesterday', 11 Mar 2026) to close the infringement procedure on the former Cyprus Investment Programme; recalls the October 2025 decision to abolish by law the legal basis for investor naturalisation (programme ended 1 Nov 2020), the new obligation to publish deprivations in the Official Gazette, and 39 Council of Ministers deprivation decisions covering 147 persons from March 2023 to date, with more to be examined. The 147 persons were already recorded; the 39 decisions are added. The closure of the infringement procedure is already an event (2026-03-11, from the Law Office release); no date or law number for the enacted amendment is given, so no new event.
