According to a relevant official announcement, during the meeting, that was held in Nicosia, Argyrou pointed out that it comes a few months after the EFCA patrol boat arrived in the area of the Eastern Levantine and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Republic of Cyprus, which is very important and can be a focal point for further cooperation for fisheries control in the area both at bilateral level and in the framework of the Common Fisheries Control Programme.

During the meeting, issues related to fisheries control, the joint control programme for 2024 and other general issues concerning cooperation in the fisheries field were examined.
