ATTACHMENT 3: MEASURES IN FAVOUR OF CURRENT USERS

Section A: Extension of deadlines for vacating affected property

Article 1 Property occupied by current users with sufficient financial means

1. A current user of a property designated for reinstatement, with sufficient financial means, may apply to the Property Board for an extension to enable him/her to continue to use the property for his/her own purposes for up to three years after the Property Board's decision.

Σχόλιο:Δικαίωμα προστασίας για ακόμα 3 χρόνια από την απόφαση της Επιτροπής Περιουσίων η οποία ως γνωστό θα βγάλει τελικές αποφάσεις μόνο όταν μελετήσει όλες τις αξιώσεις βάση του Α13(1). Δηλαδη,  μπορεί να περάσουν 10 +3 χρόνια μέχρι κάποιος που δικαιούται επανεγκατάσταση, να  επιστέψει πίσω ή να πάρει μια άλλη θεραπεία.

2. An application for an extension shall be granted by the Property Board unless and up to the time when it is found that the current user is not using the property for his/her own purposes, or that the current user has immediate access to alternative accommodation.

3. The Property Board may extend the time limit under this Article in cases of urgent humanitarian need, as determined by the Property Board.

4. The current user shall pay market rent to the Property Board for the period of continued use of the affected property from the date of the Property Board's decision on eligibility for reinstatement.

5. At the end of the period fixed by the Property Board, the current user shall vacate the affected property.

Article 2 Property occupied by current users without sufficient financial means 

1. A current user of a property designated for reinstatement, without sufficient financial means, who is a Cypriot citizen and is using the property for his/her own purposes, shall not be required to vacate the property until alternative accommodation is made available for them or until they are able, including through the provision of preferential loans or other assistance, to buy or lease on the market a property which meets the standard of alternative accommodation.

Σχόλιο:Εδώ Κύπριος ο οποίος δεν έχει επαρκή οικονομικά μέσα και κατοικεί σε ιδιοκτησία που έχει κηρυχθεί υπό επαναπροσδιορισμό δεν μπορεί να εκδιωχθεί έως ότου βρεθεί εναλλακτικό κατάλυμα. Δηλαδή εάν δεν εξευρεθεί τότε θα μείνει εκεί επ’ αόριστον δίχως ο νόμιμος δικαιούχος να μπορεί να επιστρέψει.

2. Such current users may apply to the Property Board for:

a. Assistance to purchase or lease alternative accommodation, in the form of preferential loans under these provisions; or

b. In cases of urgent humanitarian need and where not eligible for preferential loans, the allocation of low-cost or cost-free alternative accommodation from the holdings of the Property Board. The Property Board shall grant such applications to persons meeting its criteria, provided that alternative accommodation is available in its holdings.

3. A current user of a property designated for reinstatement, without sufficient financial means, who is a legal resident but not a citizen of Cyprus and is using the property for his/her own purposes, may apply for social housing or other housing assistance; or for financial assistance from the <component state> of which they are legal residents. Such current users shall not be required to vacate the property until such housing or financial assistance is available, up to a maximum of two years after the Property Board's decision on eligibility for reinstatement.

Σχόλιο: Τι σημαίνει αυτό, μήπως αναφέρεται και στους λίγους έποικους που δεν έχουν γίνει Κύπριοι βάση των προηγούμενον άρθρων ή απλά Τούρκων που μένουν στον Βορρά;

Πως μπορεί να είναι νόμιμοι κάτοικοι Κύπρου και να μην ζουν στην δική τους ιδιοκτησία εκτός και αν είναι εκτοπισμένοι;

4. The Property Board shall charge rent to any current user without sufficient financial means, up to the maximum amount possible based on his/her income and wealth.

Article 3 Payment of rent to dispossessed owner up to reinstatement

The Property Board shall pay market rent to the dispossessed owner, effective from the date of the decision of the Property Board that the property is eligible for reinstatement up to the date on which reinstatement occurs.

Section B: Preferential loans

Article 4 Preferential loans

1. The Property Board shall oversee and administer a preferential loans scheme with the assistance of international and local banks, the <common state>, the <component states> and other donors. The <common state> shall provide funds from its budget to support the scheme.

2. Under this scheme, preferential loans shall be made available on favourable terms for dispossessed owners, current users of affected property and owners of significant improvements to affected property who are Cypriot citizens and who are without sufficient financial means, in order to facilitate the purchase, lease or reconstruction of property (including the purchase of significantly improved property) or make payments required under these provisions.

3. Loans under this scheme will be made available to people who meet the criteria on condition that they agree to a 20 year moratorium on sale of any property which they purchased or reconstructed or for which they received title after making a payment to the Property Board with preferential loan funds. This moratorium period may be shortened or waived with the authorization of the Property Board.

Σχόλιο:Υπάρχει περιορισμός και πάλι στην πώληση και χρήση όπως θέλει ο καθένας περιουσίας που έχει αγορασθεί για περίοδο 20 χρόνων! Και πάλι παραβίαση του Ατομικού Δικαιώματος της Ιδιοκτησίας!

Section C: Right of first refusal

Article 5 Right of first refusal for current user and others in sales of affected property  

1. For a transitional period of 20 years after entry into force of the Foundation Agreement, any sale of a property to a person who has not been a legal resident for at least three years of the <component state> in which such property is located; is subject to a right of first refusal by a current user, who is a Cypriot citizen, at the proposed contract price. Such right shall apply:

1. For as long as the current user continues to use such property, and

2. For five years thereafter, if the current user has vacated it to allow reinstatement of the dispossessed owner.

Σχόλιο: Και πάλι περιορισμός στην πώληση και εκμετάλλευση της περιουσίας ως ο νόμιμος ιδιοκτήτης θα ήθελε και πάλι κατά παράβαση Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων και άλλων Διεθνών Αρχών. Πρώτος περιορισμός υφίσταται προς το άτομο το οποίο επιθυμεί να πωλήσει ιδιοκτησία και είναι υποχρεωμένος να το προσφέρει πρώτα στον τρεχούμενο χρήστη για δικαίωμα πρώτης άρνησης και μετά σε άτομα του Συστατικού κράτους για δικαίωμα δεύτερης άρνησης και μετά σε οποιαδήποτε άλλο όπως προβλέπει ένα κανονικό κράτος.

2. If the current user does not exercise the right of first refusal under the previous paragraph, any other person hailing from the <component state> in which the relevant property is located shall have a secondary right of first refusal, at the contract price.

3. Rights of first refusal under this Article may be exercised within 45 days after the dispossessed owner signs a sales contract with a potential purchaser, and at the same price as stated in any such contract.

4. Any dispute regarding rights of first refusal shall be referred to the Property Board. The <component states> shall enact harmonized legislation as required to regulate and ensure enforcement of contracts concluded under these provisions for rights of first refusal, and otherwise between current users and persons hailing from different <component states>.
