Tunar: “Isolations are the biggest obstacle for economy.”

Nami: “Single financial Aid does not mean much.”

Erdil Nami, President of CTCC (Cyprus Turkish Chamber of Commerce) said 259 euros does not mean much to Turkish Cypriots if it is not supported by necessary regulations. ‘As we can export anything abroad to compete with the world, it does not worth to invest and produce for 200 thousand people’ he said.
Salih Tunar, President of CTCI (Cyprus Turkish Chamber of Industry) and board some members visited the President of CTCC and the new board. They exchanged ideas.
SAlih Tunar made speech during the visit and he wished good luck to the new board and the Presient. He also mentioned how important is CTCC and CTCI for the coun-try.
Tunar said it is so natural to have cooperation between Chambers, and he expressed his positive feelings about to work together. CTCI would like to keep their good rela-tions with CTCC as they have been having from the past. It is their aim to find their way.
Tunar said CTCI has struggled to improve production, have products that are compe-tent level to go abroad, developing economy, improving trade, and take steps for so-lutions in order to fight against isolations.
‘Isolations are the biggest obstacles for economy’ said Tunar. He said they will con-tinue as they have been working on it.
During the visit President of CTCC, Erdil Nami, made a speech and said both Cham-bers are ‘unique’, and they will do good things for the community as they have been doing.
In order to have a surviving community, it should have improving industry and trade. And this needs cooperation. Nami said ‘we are ready for any kind of cooperation.’
He continued by saying that missions of the Chamber of Industry are more difficult then Chamber of Commerce, because in industry there is establishment, planning and developing. Furthermore it does not accept errors, it is not possible to see and prevent failures in advance. That is why it is acceptable to support Chamber of Indus-try more.
During his talk, Nami mentioned Cyprus problem and EU regulations, too. He said in order to have a permanent solution on the island there is a need for Finance Aid Regulations and Direct Trade Regulations.
Recently SMEs are not supported any more, which is a shame. In Brussels it was decided to support SMEs, but it was not applied yet. He repeated himself and said unless we export what we produce; there is no need to produce for 200 thousand people.
Financial Aid is a budget issue, so it will disappear by the end of this year. Nami said nobody refused the first piece. Nami said their objective is to be involved with EU and the world and have direct trade, which is a human right.
