The present provision essentially states that the purpose of the Law is implementation of Regulation 2024/1689.
This potentially creates an interpretative problem.
Courts frequently use statutory purpose to determine the permissible scope of administrative power.
If a future Commissioner uses a power for:
– national security;
– industrial policy;
– sovereign compute;
– economic security;
– strategic investment;
– government AI,
a litigant could say:
Parliament never conferred that purpose.
The statutory object only concerns implementation of the Regulation.
The objects provision should identify every legitimate statutory objective Parliament expects regulators to pursue.
But importantly it should distinguish:
– EU AI Act implementation purposes, from
– independent national purposes enacted pursuant to Cyprus’s retained competences.
Otherwise authorities risk conflating them.
