New electronic system to report illegally built homes

New electronic system to report illegally built homes

Energy and Environment Minister George Stathakis decided on Monday with Greece's Technical Chamber of Commerce to launch next year an electronic system providing people with the ability to report illegal buildings.

The new system will allow people to report the information to a Constructions Observatory that is being set up by the country's regional authorities. Inspectors will then take a look at the building that has been reported and if the dwelling has been built without the right permits, will impose fines that will be collected via tax authorities.

"We are moving ahead with activating all the tools introduced on the structure environment, which will allow us to handle the problems of the past," said Stathakis.

The head of the Technical Chamber of Commerce, Giorgos Stasinos, said that the group will support any government that takes action against illegally constructed homes.
