With the decree numbered 45059/6.5.2022 of the Ministers of Development and Energy (Government Gazette B΄2230), one more request of POMIDA, which was presented through the Working Group for the Elevators of YPAN in which it has been participating for a number of years, together with all the agencies involved.

Specificallyit was extended for another year (until 31.12.2022 ) the deadline for registration of the installed elevators of the country’s buildings, which had expired on 31.12.2021. It is recalled that the registration process presupposes the inspection of the installed lifts by a recognized body, the performance of the upgrade works and the re-inspection, and finally their legal registration. The latter seems that very soon it will now be done in the electronic National Register of Elevators, which is expected to be put into operation within the next few months.    

With Law 4915/2022, one of the important requests of POMIDA regarding municipal fees was partially accepted, as announced at its 39th Congress by the Deputy Minister of the Interior Mr. Stelios Petsas. Article 19 of this law solves to a significant extent the problem of the delay in issuing the TAP non-debt certificate, which was a significant obstacle to all kinds of real estate contracts. Specifically, after persistent efforts by POMIDA and the Coordinating Committee of Notaries, with article 19 of the new law, the procedure for issuing this certificate was amended as follows with article 19 of Law 4915/2022:

* A new procedure is established regarding the payment of the Real Estate Tax during the transfer of real estate ownership (article 24 par. 18 of Law 2130/1993) and specifically:
