The law, which takes effect on November 10
CUBA announced yesterday it will allow real estate to be bought and sold for the first time since the early days of the revolution,Lions jerseys authentic the most important reform yet under President Raul Castro.
The law, which takes effect on November 10, applies to citizens and permanent residents only, according to a red-letter headline on the front page of yesterday's Communist Party daily newspaper Granma.
The brief article said details of the new law would be published imminently in the government's Official Gazette.,Moncler men jackets, Authorities have said previously that sales will be subject to taxes and the rules will not allow anyone to accumulate property holdings.
The change follows October's legalization of buying and selling cars, though with restrictions that still make it hard for ordinary -Cubans to buy new vehicles.
Castro has also allowed citizens to go into business for themselves in a number of approved jobs - everything from party clowns to food vendors to accountants - and has pledged to streamline the state-dominated economy by eliminating half a million government workers.
Cuba's government employs more than 80 percent of workers in the island's command economy, paying wages of just US$20 a month in return for free education and healthcare, and nearly free housing, transportation and basic foods.
Castro has said repeatedly the system is not working since taking over from his brother Fidel in 2008, but he has vowed that Cuba will remain a socialist state.
Cubans have long bemoaned the ban on property sales, which took effect in over the years Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. In an effort to fight absentee ownership by wealthy landlords, Fidel enacted a reform that gave title to whoever lived in a home. Most who left the island forfeited their properties to the state.
Since no property market was allowed,,Cheap moncler vests, the rules have meant that for decades Cubans could exchange property only through complicated barter arrangements, or through even murkier black-market deals where thousands of dollars change hands under the table, with no legal recourse if transactions go bad.
Some Cubans entered into sham marriages to make deed transfers easier. Others made deals to move into homes ostensibly to care for an elderly person,Moncler women's jackets inheriting the property when that person dies.
The island's crumbling housing stock has meant many are forced to live in overcrowded apartments with multiple generations crammed into a few rooms. Even divorce has not necessarily meant separation in Cuba, where estranged couples are often forced to live together for years while they work out alternative housing.
The new law eliminates a state agency regulating the exchange-by-barter of homes, meaning from now on sales will need only the seal of a notary, according to Granma.

Aspirin may cut colon cancer risk by 60%
Aspirin may cut colon cancer risk by 60%
Taking two aspirins a day reduced the risk of colorectal cancer by more than 60% in people with a family history of the disease, a large study shows.
"This is one more piece of evidence that there are some very positive effects of aspirin, and it should be considered very seriously for people who are at risk of colorectal cancer," says Tim Bishop, one of the authors of the study and a professor of epidemiology at Leeds University in England.,hair weave,orlando magic jerseys
Observational studies have shown that aspirin lowers the risk of developing colorectal cancer,Projector LampsLuxury replica handbags but this is the first randomized controlled trial to find the effect.
Researchers from the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds in England followed almost 1,000 patients from 43 medical centers in 16 countries. The patientsTiffany necklace wholesale all had Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that predisposes people to develop colorectal cancer and other types of cancer.
The patients were divided into two groups: One group took two aspirins every day (a total of 600 milligrams) for at least two years; the other group took a placebo.
Among the findings, released Thursday online in The Lancet: Patients who took aspirin for at least two years had a 63% reduced risk of developing colorectal cancer. Women taking aspirin also had a reduced risk of developing endometrial or womb cancer, Bishop says.
John Burn, lead author of the study and a professor at Newcastle University, says: "We have clear proof that aspirin prevents cancer in people at high genetic risk. We now have new questions to answer: Will low dose be as effective as two aspirins? Should all people at increased risk take aspirin?"
