Consequently, Cyprus should become newly eligible for support from the Cohesion Fund and should no longer receive support from the Cohesion Fund on transitional and specific basis as of 1 January 2017.\n(3)\nThe list of eligible Member States for funding from the Cohesion Fund and the list of Member States eligible for funding from the Cohesion Fund on a transitional and specific basis should therefore be adjusted.\n(4)\nCommission Implementing Decision 2014/99/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
