Cyprus is making good steps. It wants to join the Schengen Area. This area means no borders for travel in Europe. The European Commission is writing a report. It will see how ready Cyprus is. This is a big step. EU countries will decide soon. This might happen this spring.
Cyprus wants to join for a long time. Many European countries are in Schengen. Cyprus is not in it yet. Cypriot people are working hard. They want to follow the rules. Their work is good. The report will come soon.
A Commissioner said Cyprus is doing well. He said it can have open borders. People can travel easily in Schengen. This helps shops and visits. Cyprus joining will help everyone.
To join, a country needs good border control. It needs to keep data safe. It must work with other countries. The report checks these things. All Schengen countries must agree. The European Parliament will also vote.
If Cyprus joins, people can travel more. They will not need passports. This will help tourists. Shops will also do better. Life will be easier. This is a sign of Europe working together. Many people wait for the report.
