The President determines and certifies to the appropriate congressional committees, not less than annually, that: (A) the Government of the Republic of Cyprus is continuing to cooperate with the United States Government in efforts to implement reforms on anti-money laundering regulations and financial regulatory oversight; and (B) the Government of the Republic of Cyprus has made and is continuing to take the steps necessary to deny Russian military vessels access to ports for refueling and servicing.
The Secretary of State has certified to the appropriate congressional committees that the Republic of Cyprus meets the statutory requirements to remove the policy of denial for exports, reexports, and transfers of defense articles to the Republic of Cyprus for fiscal year 2024. The Secretary of State further approved the suspension of the policy of denial.
Accordingly, the Department now amends section 126.1 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 120 through 130) to specify that the Republic of Cyprus’ status as a proscribed destination is suspended from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. This action continues the Department’s current policy, which suspended the status of the Republic of Cyprus as a proscribed destination under § 126.1 of the ITAR on October 1, 2022.
