The European Commission makes extensive reference to Cyprus in its sixth report on the socio-economic situation and developments in regions of the European Union, in which it also refers to EU candidate countries. The report says that Cyprus is a market economy dominated by services, with conditions of near full employment, although correspondingly productivity is also low.
