AI will have ‘massive impact’ in coming years, Georgiades says
WITH 90 per cent of all jobs after 2020 requiring basic digital skills, and with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), which is estimated to cause a net loss of millions of jobs in the coming years, Finance Minister Harris Georgiades said on that politically and institutionally the world was still not fully prepared to handle this challenge.
Speaking at a conference ‘Digital economy and innovation, a vision of growth`, which was also addressed by the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society Mariya Gabriel, Georgiades spoke of “a revolution driven by technology”.
“It will affect everyone and it will be massive,” he said.
To counter the challenges, Georgiades said the government would be investing heavily in the sector and aimed to become of the first countries to regulate blockchain technology. In addition, Cyprus will this year be appointing a deputy minister for digital transformation.
Georgiades said talk of the new technological challenge may sound abstract, too technical and remote, it had all been heard before since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and that so far automation had created more jobs than not.
“But expert opinion converges and is convinced that the new wave of technological progress will be stronger and faster than anyone can imagine,” he said.
“However, that consensus breaks down when it comes to assessing whether the strides of technology will continue to drive us in a positive direction, or if will spiral out of control and become a force of disruption.”
Already, he added, there was speculation about the impact on the labour market in 20 or 30 years and whether technology would keep creating new jobs or whether it would make some “not merely unemployed but unemployable, driven out of the jobs market by machines and algorithms”.
“And under such circumstances, will the social and political repercussions remain manageable.”
“I admit I have more questions than answers. In fact, I feel that politically and institutionally the world is still not fully prepared to handle this challenge,” Georgiades added.
Gabriel, in her address to the conference organised by ruling Disy, said that after 2020, some 90 per cent of all jobs would require basic digital skills. In Europe there were currently 350,000 vacancies for ICT specialists, that will become 500,000 in 2020. She said currently only 44 per cent of the EU workforce was equipped to make the grade in a digital Europe.
Referring to AI, she said that it was not clear yet how many jobs would disappear but added that in March the first report with European data will be ready regarding the impact on different professions.
It was very important, she said that EU member states increase the number of graduates in science, engineering and mathematics and strengthen the teaching of digital skills in their curriculum.
Her vision is for Europe was to build a digital society “based on its strength and its core values” and the benefits of the ongoing digital transformation could not be limited to a few individuals “but should be for all”.
Gabriel, who also met with Communications Minister Vassiliki Anastasiadou, also referred to the importance of citizens having trust in the new technologies they use. “Trust, that is our key word,” she said stressing the importance of an adequate legal framework.
Georgiades had referred in his speech to the appointment on Thursday of the island’s first-ever Chief Scientist, Kyriakos Kokkinos, who will head up the new national council for research and innovation.
During the swearing-in ceremony, President Nicos Anastasiades said Cyprus must tap into research and innovation, important drivers for economic growth.
In his speech, Anastasiades said the economy’s recovery in the last few years was partly due to the promotion of research and innovation and the growth of incubators for start-ups.
For his part Kokkinos, an IT professional, said that as Chief Scientist his goal would be to raise investment in research and innovation to 1.5 per cent of GDP over the next five years.
“In order that we transform into an innovative Cyprus, we need to regard innovation as a culture, a way of life, a mindset,” he noted.
Last October the cabinet gave the nod to the establishment of a national research and innovation council to promote research and entrepreneurship.

Cabinet approves bill for Egypt pipeline deal
The cabinet on Thursday approved a bill governing an inter-state agreement with Egypt for the construction of a subsea natural gas pipeline crossing through the exclusive economic zones of the two nations.
The legislation follows through from, and sanctions, the inter-state pipeline agreement signed between Cyprus and Egypt in September 2018.
Energy minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis was authorised to submit the bill to parliament.
The development came amid media reports on Thursday evening claiming that ExxonMobil has located gas at its second drill site, dubbed ‘Glafcos’, in Block 10.
The report carried by Sigma could not be confirmed. The outlet said announcements of a find could be made in about 10 days’ time.
ExxonMobil declined to comment.

Cyprus ranks 32nd as safest country
Cyprus ranks 32nd in a new list of the safest country in the world, six places ahead of the UK, with Iceland taking the top spot.
The new study has been carried out by Global Finance magazine and considers war, crime and the risk posed by natural disasters
The ranking sees Iceland as the world’s safest country and the Philippines as the most dangerous.
Iceland has a very low crime rate and despite active volcanoes, there is a low risk to life, the study found.
In the meantime, the United States came in at number 65, due to the risk from violent crime and in particular due to its high homicide rate.
The United Kingdom scored 38th position.
“Global Finance magazine’s safety index factors in risks of natural disaster with crime, terrorism and war to present a more rounded analysis of the world’s safest countries,” they said.
Unsurprisingly, European countries scooped 15 out 0f 20 of the top spots as safest countries on the list
The top ten are : Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, Portugal, Austria, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Denmark and New Zealand.
Most of the countries ranking the lowest have a combination of risk from all three threats to safety. These countries are often economically developing and are located in areas with a high risk of natural disaster, they said.
Global Finance attribute the scores to developed economies and health care systems which protect people from dangers such as starvation and disease.
They said: “The new rankings feature update sources, an updated formula, and lots of interesting dynamics that affect where countries are ranked. ”
They noted that if just one of the three risks is high, it will have a limited effect on the country’s overall score.
One country may have poor scores in peace, security, and experience frequent natural disasters, others may experience war and famine but also have a low possibility of natural disasters.
The new safety index score, factors in risks of natural disaster, crime, terrorism and war to present a more rounded analysis of the world’s safest countries, they said.
Some countries though, do not appear on the list at all, including Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Global Finance is a monthly magazine founded in 1987, with readers in 163 countries and headquarters in New York.
The new study cites sources as the World Economic Forum and the Global Institute for Peace to collect data.

Read more → cyprustimes.comFormer supermarket-chain owner will serve full six years, court rules
Former retail businessman Christos Orphanides is to serve the full six years in jail handed down to him after having been found guilty on multiple counts of issuing bad cheques.
The supreme court recently dismissed more than 110 appeals filed by Orphanides, and upheld the previous sentences imposed by criminal courts.
In its judgment, the supreme court said the criminal cases concerned dozens of cases of cheques that bounced which, according to the defendant’s own admission, were to the tune of €30m of which €20m is still unpaid.
Previously, in separate cases Orphanides had been sentenced to 28 months and 30 months imprisonment. Also, in September 2017 he had been sentenced to 14 months in jail, for an aggregate time served of 72 months.
The sentences ran sequentially.
Orphanides, 67, boss of the eponymous supermarket chain, then appealed the sentences on the grounds that they were excessive and that, being sequential, they violated the totality principle.
The totality principle applies when a court imposes multiple sentences and imprisonment. It ‘requires a judge who is sentencing an offender for a number of offences to ensure that the aggregation of the sentences appropriate for each offence is a just and appropriate measure of the total criminality involved.’
The supreme court rejected both these grounds. In its decision, it stressed the “serious criminal activity of the appellant [Orphanides] and the grave consequences on his multiple counterparties, on transactions and on the market.
“Under the circumstances,” the court said, “it is our view that under the especially severe circumstances of the case, overturning the sequential sentences would neutralise the desired deterrence and communicate the opposite message, namely that crime does pay.”
Dozens of suppliers sued Orphanides for issuing them bad cheques.
At its height, the supermarket chain operated 29 outlets plus three shopping malls in Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos.
The business began unravelling in late 2012.

Cyprus prepares to tap international markets after early repayments
Cyprus prepares to tap the markets with a new euro-denominated bond issue, the finance ministry has said.
In a statement the ministry said “the Republic of Cyprus, rated BBB- (stable) by Standard and Poor`s, Ba2 (stable) by Moody`s, BBB- (stable) by Fitch and BBBL (stable) by DBRS, has mandated CITI, Goldman Sachs International and HSBC to arrange a series of fixed income investor meetings”.
“A EUR-denominated Reg S only (registered form) transaction is expected to follow subject to market conditions,” the MoF said.
Roadshows will be held between February 11 and 13 in London, Paris, Munich and Milan.
Cyprus will seek to exploit the current momentum on fixed income assets, as the accommodative monetary policy by Central Banks continues on the backdrop of upbeat investor appetite as shown by interest concerning bond issues such as Italy, Spain and Greece. Furthermore, Cyprus planned market exit follows a series of early repayments in late 2018 utilising its cash reserves.
According to data gathered by CNA, the MoF repaid fully the loan to the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) and the loan to the former state-owned Cyprus Cooperative Bank (CCB) totalling €0.8 billion. Accounting for the scheduled repayment of a bond issued to the CCB amounting €0.5 billion, total payments in the last months of 2018 amounted to €1.3 billion.
The Mof repaid the loans to the CBC and the CCB in a bid to offset the deterioration of the island’s public debt which in 2018 spiked to €22.64 billion or 111 per cent of GDP as the government issued domestic bonds amounting to €3.2 billion to facilitate the sale of the performing operations of the CCB to Hellenic Bank.
The forthcoming issue will be utilised to cover Cyprus’ refinancing needs for 2019, with the Public Debt Management Office targeting covering financing needs for the next nine months. The state’s cash reserves in end-2018 amounted to €1.38 billion.
Last September, following the upgrade of Cyprus’s long-term rating to the investment grade by Standard and Poor’s, it issued an €1.5 billion EMTN bond, the largest ever euro-denominated bond with a coupon of 2.3 per cent representing the lowest ever coupon in the international capital markets.

Neurosurgeons join Gesy rejection chorus
The neurosurgical society on Thursday urged its members not to join the National Health Scheme (Gesy) citing the belief that the proposed scheme did not guarantee quality healthcare.
The organisation said in a written statement that taking into account the seriousness of the cases they face both chronic and urgent, they believe that a well-planned health scheme would help both patients and doctors.
“The proposed health scheme unfortunately presents several pitfalls that do not ensure quality medical care for patients, much more so for patients who require neurosurgical care,” the group said. “Both outpatient and inpatient work as suggested by the Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) does not find us in agreement.”
The medical society said that they back the decisions of the extraordinary general assembly of the medical association (CyMA) of last October and the actions of this board for the improvement of Gesy.
“We advise our members not join the current health scheme proposed by the state,” the group said. The government, however, despite the fact that CyMA, the majority of medical societies, and private hospitals said they would not back Gesy, is confident it will find the 350 doctors needed for the smooth running of the heath scheme. So far, more than 120 doctors registered to participate in Gesy as GPs while another 150 state doctors will be integrated as GPs.
The situation appeared bleaker with regards to the number of paediatricians eager to participate.
According to the HIO the average earnings for each paediatrician and GP for adults will amount to €135,000, while specialist doctors will earn €160,000 annually.
These amounts are particularly favourable compared to those of other healthcare systems, HIO had said.

Claims by Scientology-linked anti-drugs group ‘baseless and misleading’ authorities say
Anti-drugs authorities on Thursday called claims by a little-known group that narcotics were sold at a school canteen were “baseless and misleading” and questioned why an unlicensed organisation was given a platform at the House education committee.
Police on Thursday said that they immediately launched investigations into the report by a representative of the Cyprus chapter of Drug-Free World Europe (DFW), which comes under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.
The representative of the foundation, Stella Constantinou, told MPs on Wednesday that among other incidents, drugs has been sold students by a licensed school canteen manager.
She claimed the incident was made known to her from parents who had attempted to report the matter, but began receiving threats, forcing them to abandon the idea.
But police on Thursday said the claims, following initial investigations, did not hold water and that there was nothing to indicate drug pushing in school canteens.
The National Addictions Authority also said on Thursday the claim did not appear to be true and questioned why an organisation that failed to receive a licence to run its drug-prevention programme has been invited to speak at the House education committee.
The head of the authority, Chrysanthos Georgiou, told state broadcaster CyBC radio that his office did not grant the DFW a licence to register in Cyprus as a programme against addictions as it did not meet the minimum requirements.
He raised an issue as to why the group in question, which “most importantly presented incorrect data, with no scientific backing and constant misinformation”, was invited by the House education committee to participate in the discussion.
Georgiou said Constantinou had presented untrue data such as saying that the THC in cannabis available in Cyprus was as high as 98 per cent. “The state lab analysis says it is 18 per cent,” Georgiou said
He said that he was terrified by the discussion at the House committee meeting due to the way the state efforts as regards drug prevention had been nullified, despite the fact they yield results.
“One ought not to create their own myths and realities for the sake of scaremongering,” he added. He said the authority had informed the education ministry which drug prevention programmes were licensed and are allowed to work with schools in line with the national strategy.
The spokesman for the drug squad (Ykan), Stelios Sergides, also said on Thursday morning that a great number of things Constantinou had said were generalisations and were untrue.
He said he was surprised to hear of the incident, “because I considered that it was their obligation, as soon as they learned about this… to report it.”
“It is not possible for such information to be kept from the police and just thrown out there at a House meeting to create impressions,” Sergides said.
He said that his unit launched an investigation on Wednesday when Constantinou told him which school she was referring to. Sergides said that he could not understand why the incident was not reported as this could have been done anonymously.
Constantinou stood by what she had presented before MPs.
Some truths, she said, may bother state officials.
She told CyBC that the group was in the process of having their drug prevention programme registered with authorities. She formed the Drug-Free World Foundation Cyprus chapter in 2014.
“They are aware of our programme, we are in legal procedures to receive the licence so that we can access state schools,” she said. The DFW, she said, is an international organisation, that “thrives” around the world.
A similar situation occurred in Ireland a year ago after it was revealed the anti-drug brochures being circulated in Dublin schools were linked to the Church of Scientology through DFW – though there was no indication on the leaflets that a link existed. According to the Irish Independent at the time, the department of education said it would issue “revised circulars” to schools to provide strengthened guidance on external programmes.
Constantinou said she had asked to be present at the committee meeting on Wednesday and that when she heard officials from the education ministry telling MPs that everything was under control in schools, “I had said that they most probably spend too much time in their offices and have no idea what is going on in reality.”
She said that they heard of the incident in question more than six months ago but this was not the only case she had referred to MPs.
She said it was easier for teenagers to access drugs than buy cigarettes and stressed the effectiveness of the DFW programme, adding that there had been a 70 per cent reduction in drug use where it has been implemented.
The Cyprus group numbers many members, she said, mainly parents of teenagers.
She added that despite the fact Sergides said that the group’s programme was inaccurate, their videos have been used by Ykan during campaigns in schools.
Constantinou also denied that the programme had any links with the Church of Scientology other than funding.
It is being funded by Scientology, she said, but the content of the programme has nothing to do with the ideology of scientology.
“I challenge anyone to find anything in the programme that refers to the ideology of scientology. They will not find such a thing,” Constantinou said.
The head of the House education committee, Disy’s Kyriacos Hadjiyiannis, defended the presence of Constantinou at the meeting, arguing that it was standard practice allowing groups and individuals to attend meetings upon their request when issues are discussed that concern them.
He said that he did attend an event in the past organised by the group after receiving an invitation as he usually does when he is invited by other non-governmental organisations.

Parents of baby who died in hospital filing negligence case
The parents of the 20-month-old baby boy who died in Makarios Hospital earlier this week, apparently from complications from influenza, are filing medical negligence charges.
According to reports, the complaint filed with Limassol CID does not name specific doctors.
The baby had been rushed to the Limassol general hospital on Sunday on orders of a private paediatrician, but his transfer to the Makarios Hospital in Nicosia was soon deemed necessary.
The boy died early on Monday morning, around three hours after he was taken to Nicosia.
At the parents’ request, a post-mortem was carried out by state pathologist Angeliki Papetta and private pathologist Marios Matsakis.
Matsakis told state broadcaster Cybc that the cause of the boy’s death was pneumonia and sepsis, brought about by Type A flu.
The boy was suffering from acute diarrhoea and vomiting when admitted to Limassol general hospital.
On Thursday pathologist Papetta told the Cyprus News Agency that the precise cause of death will be determined through specialised tissue and microbiological tests conducted at the Institute of Neurology and Genetics.
Influenza is a contagious viral infection that attacks the respiratory system. Type A influenza is the most serious and known to cause widespread outbreaks and diseases. There is also type B and C.

Cyprus welcomes Unficyp renewal, accuses Ankara of trying to create confusion
The absence of a solution to the Cyprus problem was on Turkey, which is obstructing the process because it has other plans, the government said on Thursday, welcoming the extension of the UN force’s mandate for another six months.
Government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said what was important was that the UN Security Council had extended Unficyp’s mandate but he refrained from commenting on the decision.
“Remarks can be made about the UNSG’s report and the Security Council decision but what is important is that the peacekeeping force will be here for the next six months,” Prodromou said.
During discussion of the report on Wednesday, the US warned that the UN peacekeeping force in Cyprus cannot be part of a landscape that lacks a path toward a political solution.
“On principle, perpetual peacekeeping missions are unacceptable,” acting US permanent representative to the UN Jonathan Cohen told the Security Council.
“We are pleased that the new mandate reflects this view and that the secretary-general will examine how the many UN activities on Cyprus can be best configured in the current environment,” he said. “Unficyp and the UN’s overall presence in Cyprus cannot be a substitute for, or be a part of a landscape that lacks a path toward a political solution. We look forward to the secretary-general’s report particularly on this point.”
“We urge the leaders to proactively engage UN consultant Jane Holl Lute to negotiate the terms of reference for resuming negotiations,” Cohen said.
Turkey said late on Wednesday that the resolution did not make a realistic contribution to the efforts towards the settlement of the Cyprus issue and was not compatible with previous reports by the UN secretary-general.
“Both in his report on his Mission of Good Offices in Cyprus dated 15 October 2018 and his latest report on the UN operations in Cyprus dated 11 January 2019, submitted to the UN Security Council, UN secretary-general had emphasised the need for new ideas, without referring to a specific settlement model,” the Turkish government said.
“Despite this fact, in this most recent resolution, the UN Security Council has adopted a position which goes beyond the UN secretary-general’s views. Moreover, the UN Security Council has voiced prejudgments regarding the result of the ongoing contacts by the UN official assigned on a temporary basis by the UN secretary-general and the possible future shape of the settlement process.”
Prodromou said the fact that the Turkish foreign ministry referred to the UNSG wanting him to correct the Security Council apparently showed an approach to create confusion.
The spokesman said it was foremost the Greek Cypriot side who wanted a solution and if so much time has gone by without achieving one it was because “for decades now Turkey is blocking a solution apparently because it has other plans.”
Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci criticised the fact that his side had not been asked when discussing renewal of the mandate.
Akinci said that during his time as leader the Turkish Cypriot side had never advocated a complete end to Unficyp’s mandate although that did not mean it should not be revised.
“UN Peacekeepers were first sent to Cyprus in March 1964. That means 55 years. Unficyp should not become a symbol of the status quo on the island nor should the mandate serve to further encourage the Greek Cypriot side’s reluctance to work towards a settlement,” he said.
Half of Unficyp’s financing is covered by Cyprus and Greece.
Of the possibility of resuming talks, Akıncı said the Turkish Cypriot side was open to the idea of discussing the notion of a loose federation, where the constituent states have more powers, as long as the process was to be result-oriented, subject to timetables and safeguarded the political equality of the two sides.
“Even if the word timetables is not used in all the latest UN reports and resolutions, the wording used, ‘foreseeable horizons’, implies it,” he added.
The UN Secretary-General’s envoy Jane Holl Lute is expected in Cyprus in the coming days in order to help formulate the terms of reference for the resumption of negotiations.
