[01] Energy Minister: Energy sector the key to recovery
The inclusion of Cyprus in EU energy planning renders the energy sector
the key to achieving the country`s goals for financial recovery and
growth, Minister of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Yiorgos
Lakkotrypis has said.
Addressing the 52nd General Meeting of the Institute of Certified Public
Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC), Lakkotrypis said "continuous developments
in the energy sector not only leave no room for delay but impose the
planning and implementation of actions that will secure growth and the
creation of new jobs."
Lakkotrypis assured that the government had a plan for research and
hydrocarbon exploitation activities in Cyprus` exclusive economic zone,
including a roadmap for the use of its deposits of natural gas, drafted
by the Ministry of Energy.
[02] ILO must respond to global crisis, says Labour Minister
The International Labour Office (ILO), as the globally recognized
authority in the world of work, must organize a concerted international
response to the crisis, building on effective and strategic partnerships
between key players, Minister of Labour and Social Insurance Zeta
Emilianidou has said.
Addressing the International Labour Conference 102nd Session in Geneva,
Emilianidou said the ILO should also aim to become more relevant at the
regional level, through sound and relevant policy advice and support to
its constituents.
"The ILO's contributions to the G20 are very important and we welcome the
Office's strong involvement in the preparation of the joint meeting of
G20 Finance and Labour Ministers under the Russian G20 Presidency. This
will be a good opportunity for the ILO to bring to the G20 debate its
experiences and agreed policies in dealing with the challenges the world
of work is facing", she added.
