In accordance with Article 3, paragraph 5, of the Convention, the competent authority, under the Law of the Republic of Cyprus, to exercise control or supervision with respect to the local communities and authorities covered by the Outline Convention (as well as for the implementation of the Convention and its Protocols), is the Minister of Interior and any other person authorised by the Minister for this purpose.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would also like to reiterate its objection, as this was submitted to the Council of Europe on 8 September 2011, related to the reservation made by the Republic of Turkey on 11 July 2001, in its ratification instrument of the Convention (ETS No. 106), limiting cooperation to local administrations of states with which the latter has diplomatic relations.
