25.1 SWIMMING POOL
There is ongoing discussion in Cyprus regarding the legal status of swimming pools within private complexes. The issue is that under EU law our pool is regarded as private and the tough rules regarding public pools do not apply. However a written response from an EU official to the owner of a Cyprus property appears to suggest that an EU member state can impose tougher rules if they feel they are justified. As a result Cyprus appears to be classifying many private pools as public, and has taken legal action against a few owners who have failed to comply with “public” pool standards. We do not yet know what the justification was for this action.
The rules for public pools are more onerous [and more expensive to implement] and include the requirement for a full-time lifeguard, and alterations to some of the pool facilities.
An organisation calling itself the Cyprus Communal Guide has organised a petition page on Facebook for people to request a review of the current Cyprus law. Steve Butcher will post a link to this petition on our website. We urge all owners [including each individual owner] to sign the petition requesting a review. If we cannot get the Cyprus Law changed we face either having to close the pool or pay significant increased cost to run it.
25.2 ACCOUNTS – [CLOSED]
JBCM are requested to forward a copy of their invoice 310 to enable K3OG to reconcile the accounts please. POST MEETING NOTE: Information received.
