The CPT’s report on the February 2017 visit to Cyprus is set out in document CPT/Inf (2018) 16. Strasbourg, 26 April 2018 Response by the Government of Cyprus to the report on the visit of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) to Cyprus (2 to 9 February 2017) The Republic of Cyprus welcomes the recommendations of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The competent authorities have carefully studied the recommendations, which will be duly considered in the efforts to improve the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty, with a view to strengthening, where necessary, the protection of such persons. Cyprus remains committed to its dialogue with the Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. I. INTRODUCTION D. National Preventive Mechanism Recommendation par. 9, page 10 -11 The CPT recommends that the Cypriot authorities significantly increase the resources allocated to the Office of the Ombudsman to enable it to carry out its NPM functions effectively, along with a dedicated and sufficient budget. Enhancing the capacity of the Office of the Ombudsman has been one of the priorities of the Cypriot authorities, who have sought external expertise on how best to proceed.

Reconsider the role of research and the research centre in the overall academic strategy ii. Ensure that the Mission and Vision statements are more closely tied to outcomes; iii. Ensure better alignment of strategic planning and quality assurance objectives. iv. Consider upgrading facilities and outdoor recreation areas.” The EEC’s general comments on the above suggestions are as follows: i. The Scientific Research Centre, which was presented during the Evaluation, is now called the Centre for Scientific Research and Professional Development, and as of 17/01/2019 comes under the Assistant Chief of Police (Education), who implements/coordinates and oversees the educational policy set by the Chief of Police. It is underlined that the Research Office, which deals with the study of laws, changes in course material, preparation of research in police matters, etc., still operates under the Cyprus Police Academy (CPA). More details are available in the comments on points 6.1.1 - 6.1.7 of the Institutional Evaluation. ii. Moreover, the Police Academy has revised the learning outcomes of the Training of Police Recruits, with a view to aligning them with the strategic goals of the Police, quality assurance and time frames, as follows: «The CPA’s mission is the provision of quality education and training to all members of the Cyprus Police, with a view to expanding their knowledge and developing their skills and abilities, in order to ensure, in the best possible way, the achievement of the strategic goals of the Police».

  • Occurrence of Meloidogyne Spp. and Races on the Island of Cyprus
    [ Nematol. medit. (1983), 11: 13-19. [ Agricultural Research Institute, Nicosia, Cyprus OCCURRENCE OF MELOIDOGYNE SPP. AND RACES ON THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS by J. PRILIS Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are widespread and destructive pests of crop plants in Cyprus. Georghiou (1957) reported Meloidogyne javanica, M. arenaria and an unidentified species while Philis and Siddiqi (1976) added M. incognita to the list. Netscher (1978) reported that in subtropical countries the length of juveniles and the configuration of the perineal pattern do not adequately serve in identifying Meloidogyne while the position of the excretory pore of the adult female seemed to be useful for distinguishing between M. javanica and M. incognita. Taylor and Sasser (1978) used several kinds of plants for separating species and races of Meloidogyne by host response while Eisenback et al. (1981) established several morpho­ logical features for distinguishing the most common species of root-knot nematodes. The object of the present study was to use the response of Sasser's differential hosts for local Meloidogyne populations and to determine morphological features that might contribute to their identification. The work is part of the International Meloidogyne Project (IMP). Materials and Methods Thirty nine root and soil samples were collected from naturally infested fields from 22 locations in Cyprus. The samples were taken -13- Table I - Habitat of Meloidogyne populations collected for identification. Popula­ HOST Village Glasshouse Field tions Common name Variety

    Limitations in cross-national comparative research: Problems faced when comparing police personnel statistics LIMITATIONS IN CROSS NATIONAL COMPARATIVE RESEARCH: Problems faced when comparing police personnel statistics Markianos Kokkinos Christiana Vryonidou Scientific Research and Professional Development Center, Cyprus Police Academy 1 Abstract The Mass Media in Cyprus announced that according to the Eurostat (2019) “Police, Court and Prison Personnel Statistics”, Cyprus has the highest ratio of police officers per 100.000 inhab- itants among all EU member states. To examine this outcome, the Cyprus Police conducted cross-national research comparing the organisation’s population and duties with those of other law enforcement agencies in the European Union. This article will elaborate on the lim- itations of cross-national comparative research, which the authors came across during the study, as mentioned above. It will argue that even a subject as straightforward as the number of police officers is not directly comparable between countries in terms of necessity or efficiency, without taking into consideration the particular context of each given country. A quantitative comparison, which does not explore the background and contextual information on law en- forcement agencies in each country, can be questioned with regards to severe methodological issues, while its outcomes run the risk of being regarded as misleading. Keywords: Eurostat, Comparative Research, Limitations, Police Personnel 1 [email protected] 31 European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin Nr. 20 (Autumn 2020) Introduction According to Eurostat (2019), as presented in Graph 1 below, Cyprus has the highest ratio of police officers per 100.000 inhabitants among the EU countries. This fuelled the ire of the mass media in Cyprus, and consequently of the public, which turned once more against the Police.
