Total 37 applications arbitrary in the woods and forest land were established in the first two weeks of the online platform. However, interest seems to be on the rise as the link in question has had over 1000 hits. The deadline for deforestation to be illegal is at the end of the year, and by the looks of it, most are waiting for the deadline to act. The online platform for reporting forest encroachment went live on 5 October. According to him Greek Land Registry (which processes through its website) until yesterday, 30 declarations were filed in Attica (corresponding to 4,843 sq. m of arbitrary buildings on 35 acre plots), two in Corinthia (195 sq.) and one each in Aetoloakarnania ( 260 sq.m. on a plot of 3.3 sq.m.), in Viotia (91 sq.m. on a plot of 0.9 sq.m.), in Evia (80 sq.m. on a plot of 0.9 st. m2), in Thessaloniki (10 m2 on a plot of 6.3 m2) and in Larissa (141 m2 on a plot of 1.2 m2). In total, applications for legalization of 5600 sq.m. on 49.2 acres of forest. According to the same source, another 122 preliminary applications have been submitted and are still pending.

However, interest is growing, as in two weeks the number of visits to the application (located in the section “Electronic Services for the Citizen”) exceeded 1000. Greek Land Registry sources suggest that (also) this case will have the same development as the land registry, then there are citizens rushing to announce when the deadline (December 31) comes up. As a reminder, as part of the “population density” process, 115 municipalities across the country have declared approximately 292,000 acres of “population density,” i.e., arbitrary settlements, by 2016-2019. Of these, 115,873 tithes are in Attica, 42,206 tithes in Corinth, 19,464 tithes in Halkidiki, 19,050 tithes in Thessaloniki, and so on. In 2019, the corresponding resolution was canceled as unconstitutional at the plenary session of the State Council.

During the first two weeks of operation of the electronic platform for forest illegals, there were about 1,000 visits.

It is recalled that, according to Law 4685/20, owners of unauthorized buildings must submit an application, indicate the coordinates of their property (if the plot was cadastral, this is also done through the KAEC of the property) and describe the structure and layout. structures that accompany it. If the person concerned has filed an objection to the forest map, he must attach it. Finally, they must pay a fee of 250 euros (in the second stage, also a fine, the calculation method of which has not yet been determined). By declaring their arbitrary residence, illegal immigrants immediately provide “immunity” from the impact of the law (fines, demolitions, etc.). At the second level (which remains uncertain in time) declarations will be analyzed to decide whether certain groups of buildings will be legalized.
