With the European Commission having announced in early 2020 an increased climate target for 2030 and aiming to extend the EU's Emission Trading System (EU ETS) to the shipping sector, the Cyprus Shipping Deputy Ministry organised a virtual debate entitled ‘ETS in Shipping: Elixir or Threat to Sustainability?’, on December 07, 2020, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment and the European Parliament Office in Cyprus.

On the occasion of commencing the gradual lifting of the restrictive measures, the Cyprus Shipping Chamber (CSC) congratulated the Cyprus Government and the state, as well as all stakeholders involved, for the good handling of the Covid-19 pandemic so far.
