November 11, 2025

The Parliament is handling the bill for the operation of entertainment venues, which proposes differentiated operating hours. There has been no update from the government, and interested parties continue to express concerns. The Pancyprian Association of Entertainment Venue Owners rejects the differentiation of hours, emphasizing that it will reduce business turnover. They also argue that the changes will adversely affect small businesses and jobs. The bill will be discussed again in the Commerce Committee.
