Notes
A voluntary ex-ante transparency notice published in the Official Journal of the EU on 7 April 2026 (dispatched 3 April 2026) shows the Cyprus Police intending to award, without prior competition, a contract for maintenance of its fixed automatic number plate recognition system at checkpoints ("οδοφράγματα"). The justification says the company holds overall responsibility for installation, warranty, maintenance and configuration of the ANPR systems installed at the checkpoints and of the related infrastructure at district traffic departments and other police services, that it is the sole Cyprus representative of the manufacturer CLEARTONE, and that it has developed its own data-synchronisation software for the system. The notice states no value, start date or end date and does not mention AI or machine learning. Filenews (18 November 2023), reposted by Tala News, reports that the Minister of Justice told Parliament the system had been installed at all checkpoints controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, recording plates automatically and flagging vehicles and owners linked to offences such as stolen vehicles, missing insurance, unpaid fines or outstanding arrest warrants; the same report says 147 police cars carry a mobile plate-recognition system.
