It is noted that the Ministry of the Interior, after the persistent requests of POMIDA, and the relevant statement of the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior Mr. Kostis Hatzidakisat its 37th Conference (January 2020 in EBEA) proceeded with a reformation of the forest maps, giving from last spring to the interested owners, natural and legal persons, OTAs, public services, agencies, etc., the possibility to submit data concerning actions of the administration or data of individual administrative acts, which prove which areas have lost their forest character, in order to be excluded from the Forest Map. The data of the applications submitted by the interested citizens are integrated into the sanctioned or non-sanctioned forest maps and now the final phase of the posting for the final configuration of the forest maps is proceeding.
The following procedure will result in which properties are definitively classified arbitrarily and demolished, which are preserved with a fine and which owners, when and how can declassify their lands, when they appeared as “forest” after the forest maps were posted, while it is not.
It is worth noting that against the decision of the Ministry of the Interior on the reformation of the forest maps, the hearing of the appeal of the GEOTEE, foresters and ecologists, is pending before the SC. >for the rejection of which POMIDA and the Association of Agricultural Property Owners have intervened. The outcome of this trial will be of decisive importance for the development and completion of the reformation of the forest maps and the fate of the objections and therefore the properties of approximately 200,000 owners from all over the country…
