Building renovations are planned by the Ministry of Justice and Public Order in 2015, in order to reduce the thousands of euros given each year in building rents.
On the occasion of the forthcoming relocation of the GEEF from the existing building to the Police Headquarters, large enough spaces will be vacated that could accommodate various police services that are currently rented and at a very high cost. Some plans have already been made on paper, so that the rents paid by the ministry today are significantly reduced. GEEF is expected to move with the Ministry of Defense at the end of the year to a building on Strovolos Avenue. Police Headquarters to which the office of the Directorate of European Union and International Police Cooperation, the Aliens and Immigration Service of the Nicosia Police Directorate, etc. could be transferred. As it was duly mentioned in "Φ", the criterion for the relocation of a department will be how high the rent is paid annually. Paphos Gate was deemed unsuitable for years and will be demolished. Already two buildings that were recently inspected were not considered suitable due to high rent, while another is sought that will provide comfort to the members of the TAE and will be suitable for interrogations. The matter is handled by a committee set up by various services.Source: FILELEFTHEROS
