She has not got her pension from the UK - she contacted them and they said she should consider it 'enforced saving'..... 

Tell her to look on cyprus-dying there is a number to call........they have stopped sending them but if you call they will send it to where you want whether UK or here.......

Which part of "she contacted them" did you fail to comprehend...?

Meeting delayed again.......

Meeting delayed again.......

I thought i just posted that...? 

A key meeting of eurozone finance ministers to finalise a crucial bailout for Cyprus has been delayed as talks to hammer out an agreement overran.

President Nicos Anastasiades is locked in talks with EU, European Central Bank and IMF leaders in Brussels.

The finance ministers - know as the Eurogroup - must decide on Sunday whether or not to approve the bailout.

Cyprus needs to raise 5.8bn euros (£5bn) to qualify for a 10bn euro EU bailout and avoid bankruptcy.

A eurozone official said the Eurogroup meeting had been rescheduled for about 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT) from 18:00 because talks with Cypriot officials ahead of those discussions had overrun.

In another development on Sunday, Bank of Cyprus - the island's biggest lender - further limited cash machine withdrawals to 120 euros a day.

With queues growing outside cash machines across the island, the second biggest lender, Laiki (Popular) Bank, also lowered its daily limit to 100 euros, Cyprus News Agency reported. The bank's previous limit had been 260 euros per day.

Banks have been closed since Monday and many businesses are only taking payment in cash.

In the run-up to the crunch talks in Brussels, the EU's commissioner for economic affairs Olli Rehn said the island had only "hard choices left" and must agree terms on Sunday.

Two main Cyprus banks slash ATM withdrawal limits

Nicosia. The two main banks at the centre of Cyprus's financial crisis slashed the daily cash withdawal limits from ATM machines on Sunday, state media reported, cited by AFP.
With queues growing outside cash machines across the island, Laiki (Popular) Bank cut maximum withdrawals at ATMs to 100 euros a day and the Bank of Cyprus reduced its limit to 120 euros a day, the Cyprus News Agency said.
Laiki bank, Cyprus's second biggest lender, had already restricted withdrawals to 260 euros a day on Thursday after its ATMs were besieged by customers drawing their previous daily limits of 700 euros.
Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades was in bailout talks in Brussels on restructuring the island's banks and dealing with a mounting cash shortfall via a "haircut", or levy, of large bank deposits.
The Mediterranean island faces possible exit from the euro, with the European Central Bank due to halt funding on Monday. Cyprus banks are not due to reopen until Tuesday after a 10-day shutdown.
Parlaiment has already passed legislation to put all Laiki deposits over 100,000 euros into a "bad bank" where they will be tied up for years and may never be fully recovered.
But negotiations have stumbled on EU-IMF demands for a substantial levy on deposits above the same threshold in the Bank of Cyprus to avoid it facing similar restructuring. The island's largest lender, it holds more than a third of all deposits.


Not just Laiki......

Early reports coming out of Brussels suggest that the Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades threatened to resign because there are so many sticking points in talks.

The Eurogroup meeting has been delayed by around two hours and delegates are preparing for what could be a long night.

The main problems seem to be the restructuring of the banks and the possibility that Eurogroup members have asked for more money from Cyprus to meet the terms of a €10 billion euro bailout.
