According to the Greek Cypriot daily 'Alithia', upon the instructions of the Greek Cypriot Ministry for Agriculture, Greek Cypriot police at the barricades are confiscating agricultural and meat products purchased by the Greek Cypriots from the North. The daily reported that this procedure started last Sunday (5 December) and the same procedure was also implemented for mushrooms, snails, honey and fish. It also reported that because petrol prices were cheaper in the TRNC, Greek Cypriots who had bought petrol from the TRNC were also fined at the barricades.
