Notes.
1. The proposed law is the result of two years of negotiations between opposing points of view ; tourism interests, versus taxation needs. It is a compomise, and as we understand it, it contains some anomalies. We are arranging a good translation, and will then ask questions of the Greek authorities to clarify as many remaining uncertainties as we can.
Notes.
2. To keep this in context, two and three years back two previous laws were passed introducing taxes for larger vessels. However, in both years, procedures to implement the laws were suspended after very strong objections from influential owners of larger boats.
3. A meeting of the Mediterranean section of the Cruising Association on 21 Nov was attended by some 60 memberss. It was recognised that this was probably a « done deal », with little opportunity for major change. The most apt response recommended was to seek concessions for categories of sailors most likely to leave Greek waters as a result of this legislation. These were recognised as boats affected by the « step change » in charges at 12m, and visitors in boats under 12m from other countries, forced to pay a full season tax for a short visit
4. The CA is working out the most effective way to present these arguments to the authorities.
5. This news item will be kept up to date as further information is obtained.
