Incredible and at the same time real. If Bar Principote And Nammos demolish all their illegal buildings by the beginning of May, then they will pay a fine… only 500 euros. This opportunity is provided by a new legislative norm, adopted two weeks ago. Ministry of the Environment. Two companies have already submitted Syros Construction Service apply for a voluntary transfer to demolition.

At the end of March, in the multi-legislation of the Ministry of the Environment (No. 5037/23) and, since the case had already arisen brutal beating of the archaeologist Ephorates of the antiquities of the Cyclades, a new mechanism was provided for faster registration of urban (and other) offenses. In particular, environmental inspectors have been given the opportunity to participate in mixed levels of control who will monitor specific cases as directed by the Secretary General of Spatial Planning.

Prior to this, environmental inspectors could only check environmental offenses, while city planners were checked by local construction services. Therefore, under the new legislation, the inspectors conduct an autopsy, and then draw up a conclusion, which they report to the arbitrator, so that he, if desired, applies to the Central Council for Urban Affairs and Disputes (CESIPOTA) within ten days.

A few days later, on April 13, Law 5043/23 was published, adding an article to the previous provisions. On the one hand, it is stipulated that the violations, on which the conclusion of the inspectors is being finalized, must be demolished, while they are usually imposed installation and maintenance chargesa criminal penalty is imposed and the license to operate the site (if it is a business site) is suspended.

However, the offender is given the opportunity to comply. As provided for in the regulation, the owner may, within ten days (from the moment the act of opening the opening) is opened, inform the local construction administration that he intends to voluntarily begin to demolish the squatter and restore the site. If this happens within this period, “the building service appoints (including a private) building inspector to ascertain the demolition and restore arbitrariness and imposes a fine of five hundred 500 euros”at the same time, fines are canceled and criminal prosecution is suspended. However, due to the fact that in the past, especially in relation to removable structures, it was often found that violators demolished them in order to avoid fines and … built anew, the law provides that the voluntary demolition procedure is applied only once to removable structures. of the same property, and in the event of a relapse, they are subject to the usual fines. The same regulation stipulates that buildings discovered by inspectors on their own are considered demolished (unless the owner provides documents confirming the legality of the construction).

The provision of the law stipulates that the procedure for voluntary withdrawal is applied only once to the same property.

What do these two agreements mean for Mykonos? In the case of Principote in Panormos, instead of paying a construction and maintenance fine of 22.2 million euros, the owner can pay off his obligations of 500 euros. But according to the inspectorssee “K”, 22.4.23, “Mykonos: express demolition in Nammos – 40,000 square meters of illegal immigrants in the ‘Principality'”) will have to demolish 40,000 square meters of illegal buildings recorded in the autopsy report, which can hardly be done within the 10-day legal period.

As for Nammos, the illegality was clearly smaller (in fact, two buildings of 520 m2 and 40 m2) and more easily demolished – however, since the work was considered incomplete, a different procedure was envisaged: immediate demolition and removal of existing buildings. license (according to the new legislation). Thus, this company is also interested in single-handedly proceeding with the immediate destruction of illegal objects.

Compliance Statement

According to “K”Both companies in the previous days submitted a declaration of conformity to the Construction Service of Syros (which owns Mykonos). This means that they have activated the corresponding process. It is still unknown if they also filed an appeal with KESYPOTHA to challenge the autopsy evidence and findings.

The government has the intention of immediate demolition to clarify the intention of the lawlessness conflict. The problem in the case of the Aegean Decentralized Administration, which will bear the burden of demolition, is that there is no “open” (previously existing with a two-year suspension) demolition contract, and there must be some other way. selected, with a few legal maneuvers.
