Cyprus

Translations are carried out with the help of outside translators listed with the Press and Information Office (Γραφείο Τύπου και Πληροφοριών) and are certified by sworn translators. The Press and Information Office (PIO) is a department of the Ministry of Interior (Υπουργείο Εσωτερικών). The purpose of the PIO is to provide continuous and objective information to the international media and the citizens of Cyprus on issues relating to Cyprus and the Cyprus Question, using all new forms of information technology, in the aim of successfully projecting the government and its work and providing global information to citizens on issues relating to the integration of Cyprus into the European Union. The PIO is also responsible for producing informative material such as leaflets, films and CDs. Some PIO departments deal directly with and serve the public. One of these is the Translation Department (Κλάδος Μεταφράσεων).
