Cyprus is a small island of 9.251 sq km (3.572 sq miles), extending 240 km (149 miles) from east to west and 100 km (62 miles) from north to south. It is strategically situated in the far eastern end of the Mediterranean (33° E, 35° N), at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, and in close proxi- mity to the busy trade routes linking Europe with the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia and the Far East.

Cyprus has a Mediterranean climate: hot dry summers from June to September and mild, wet winters from November to March, which are separated by short Autumn and Spring seasons of rapid change in weather patterns in October, April and May. Sunshine is abundant during the whole year, particularly from April to September when the daily aver-age exceeds eleven hours. There are two mountain ranges on the island: the Pentadaktylos range which runs along almost the entire northern coast, and the Troodos massif in the central and south-western parts of the island which culminates in the peak of Mount Olympus, 1.953 m. above sea level. Cyprus’ coastal line is indented and rocky in the north with long sandy beaches in the south. Between the two ranges lies the fertile plain of Messaoria.

Cyprus became politically independent from British rule in 1960. The Turkish invasion, launched on 20 July 1974, resulted in the occupation of 40% of the island’s territory and about 200.000 Greek Cypriots were displaced.

On 1 May 2004 the Republic of Cyprus became a full member of the EU and in January 2008 Cyprus joined the Eurozone. Accession to the EU was a natural choice for Cyprus, dictated by its culture, civilisation, history, its European outlook and adherence to the ideals of demo- cracy, freedom and justice. Since its accession to the EU, Cyprus has undergone significant structural reforms that have transformed its economic landscape. Trade and in-terest rates have been liberalised, while price controls and investment restrictions have been lifted. Private financing has been introduced for the construction and operation of major infrastructure projects and monopolies have been abolished.

The new political context created by the accession to the EU is also expected to impact positively on the efforts to reach a comprehensive settlement to the division of Cyprus that will reunite its people and reintegrate its economy.
