There are three major benefits for Cyprus joining the EU; financially the EU has offered grants for some major construction projects. There is some hope that some of the corruption within the civil service might be restricted by EU rules about tendering for contracts. Before Cyprus joined the EU non-Cypriots were not allowed to own businesses. One of the major supermarket chains (Chris's Cash & Carry) has been bought by Carrefour. This has improved the choice in goods, although food prices have risen since EU membership - partly because of the ending of food subsidies. Politically, the Cypriots feel more secure as part of the EU; Cyprus is a small country close to three continents, and close to countries - Israel, Syria, Egypt, Turkey which have had recent wars or invaded Cyprus. The Cypriots, understandably, felt somewhat isolated and joining the EU gives them a stronger sense of being European - although, ironically, Cyprus is closer geographically to Africa and Asia.
