This brings to mind some aspects of a word starting with B and ending in 
Y with UREAUCRAC in the middle, worthy of Cyprus government documents 
and laws. However, the IPC may be better advised that the Cypriots 
blithely ignore all such documents and laws and go their own sweet way, 
if it suits them. Can you imagine the cost of checking whether existing 
documents etc. comply? IMHO, this is a very bad moment to even consider 
introducing any cost-increasing measures.
