The Cyprus Livestock Association, representing around 200 members, is prepared to take strong action unless authorities reconsider their strategy regarding compensation for farmers affected by a livestock outbreak. Spokesperson Stella Petrou emphasized the need for clear compensation details. The government insists on adhering to EU veterinary protocols, with spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis stating that public health is the priority. Experts, including Dimitris Epaminondas, argue against alternative approaches, warning of potential trade embargoes affecting key exports like halloumi.
