Maria Kyriacou addresses the Industry, Research and Energy Committee of the European Parliament

August 2012

Following the accident caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in 2010, the European Commission launched an assessment of safety in offshore oil and gas activities in European waters and presented a proposal for a Regulation in October 2011.

It intends to respond to the increased risks of offshore oil and gas activities by ensuring the application of best practices for major hazard control throughout the EU, by strengthening Member States' preparedness and response capacity and by clarifying the existing legal framework on liability and compensation.

Maria Kyriacou, head of our Nicosia office and leader of the firm's EU law department, was invited to give her expert advice on the proposed Regulation to the Industry, Research and Energy Committee of the European Parliament on 9 July.

Cyprus Shipping Industry : Business as usual. Why despite recent events Cyprus remains an internatio

Cyprus is the third most populated island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Traditionally Cyprus has always been at the heart of the seafaring trade and therefore always functioned as an important centre for trade and commerce. Today as a member of the European Union it remains an optimal business base. It is one of the most attractive locations for foreign investments worldwide. Foreign companies have been given the opportunity to invest and establish business in Cyprus on equal terms with local investors as no distinction is made between foreign and Cypriot companies.
