Balgarianovinite.com Only one in four owners of properties and plots in Greece has fulfilled their obligation to clean them as a measure to prevent forest fires, the online edition of the Kathimerini daily reported on Thursday.
The publication recalled that the deadline for this is June 15, with property owners required to submit a declaration online. Penalties for non-compliance range from EUR 200 to 2,000. Failure to file a declaration results in a fine of EUR 100 if the property has been cleaned, and EUR 500 if it has not been cleaned. Filing a declaration with false content is punishable by at least six months in prison and a fine of EUR 5,000, Kathimerini reports.
In an interview with Sky TV, Minister for Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Evangelos Tournas said that between 300,000 and 350,000 properties had been declared electronically, describing the number as “unsatisfactory.” He cited figures showing that last year, the number of declarations was 500,000, and in 2024 it would exceed 800,000 out of an estimated 1.3 million properties falling within the scope of the requirement.
Manos Kranidis, information secretary of the Panhellenic Federation of Property Owners, said that high costs and lack of public awareness were among the reasons for the delay. He was quoted by Greek media as saying that municipalities should inform through written notifications instead of using digital means such as email.
