Press Release Operation of Free Zones in Greece In General: Greece has four (4) free-trade zones, located at the Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Astakos Aitoloakarnanias port areas. The Free Zones (Control Type I) operate according to the European Union customs code. Goods of foreign origin may be brought into these zones without payment of customs duties or other taxes and remain free of all duties and taxes if subsequently transshipped or re-exported. Similarly, documents pertaining to the receipt, storage, or transfer of goods within the zones are free from stamp taxes. Transit goods may be held in the zones free of bond. The zones also may be used for re-packing, sorting, and re-labeling operations. Assembly and manufacture of goods are carried out on a small scale in the Thessaloniki Free Zone. Also, the area of the Free Zone (NA.VI.PE) in the Astakos Port is currently the only industrial area in Greece that has been categorized as Free Trade and Industrial Zone and also offers port facilities. The Industrial plots that are offered to the interested investors for business establishment are located in this area of Free Zone and without doubt, offer significant comparative advantages. The raw materials and components received do not required any customs procedure, so, the final products are exported to third countries (non EU) without any extraction process (exempt from VAT).

  • Classical Antiquity and Modern Greek National Identity: Reliving the Ancient Maritime Heritage at the Sea of Salamis1
    CHAPTER 6 Classical Antiquity and Modern Greek National Identity: Reliving the Ancient Maritime Heritage at the Sea of Salamis1 Eleni Stefanou 1 Introduction Today we celebrate almost 2500 years from the Naval Battle of Salamis with such a great significance for Greece and humanity because it estab- lished the prerequisites for the survival of civilisation and Hellenism. The Naval Battle of Salamis is not important just as a significant naval event but also because it demonstrated that the entire Greek future is utterly connected to the sea. Its messages are still dominant and show that the future of Greeks is connected to free societies, democracy, and freedom.2 Every year on the last weekend of September the island of Salamina com- memorates the Naval Battle of Salamis, an historical event of great importance for the classical Greek antiquity that took place in 480 BC, when the fleet of the Athenian Coalition successfully confronted the Persian fleet. As seen in school textbooks, maritime museums, and official historiographical texts, the Naval Battle of Salamis is largely depicted as the most important naval event of the Greek national maritime past. In the website of the Piraeus Prefecture, the Naval Battle of Salamis is referred to as a «luminous example of superb thought, maritime ability, and mainly Greek bravery. The glorious result in favor of the Greeks allowed the Greek nation to acquire consciousness of its superiority, and also it has taught and it still teaches people that faith in the ideals of freedom and democracy should be above all».3 1 All quotes and ethnographic information are cited in the author’s unpublished Phd Thesis: E.

Margherita 80, I-52100 Arezzo, Italy; [email protected] 4 Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Lipová 9, CZ-37005 České Budějovice, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0761-357-357 Received: 26 November 2018; Accepted: 5 December 2018; Published: 6 December 2018 Abstract: The present study illustrates a simplified procedure identifying population sub-centers over 50 years in three Southern European cities (Barcelona, Rome, Athens) with the aim to define and characterize progressive shifts from mono-centric structures towards a polycentric spatial configuration of (growing) metropolitan regions. This procedure is based on a spatially-explicit, local-scale analysis of the standardized residuals from a log-linear model assessing the relationship between population concentration and the distance from a central place in each metropolitan region, under the hypotheses that (i) a mono-centric spatial structure is characterized by a linear relationship between the two variables and that (ii) population sub-centers—considered early signals of a more polycentric regional structure—are characterized by high and positive regression residuals. Results of this study indicate that the three cities have experienced distinctive urbanization waves influencing the overall metropolitan configuration, with variable impact on the original mono-centric structure.

  • Quality of Life in Metropolitan Athens, Using Satellite and Census Data: Comparison Between 1991 and 2001
    Academic Article Journal of Heat Island Institute International Vol.7-2 (2012) Quality of Life in Metropolitan Athens, Using Satellite and Census Data: Comparison between 1991 and 2001 Marina Stathopoulou*1 Stefanos Iacovides*1 Constantinos Cartalis*1 *1 Department of Environmental Physics and Meteorology, University of Athens, Athens, Greece Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study presents an aggregated quality-of-life (QOL) index representing the combined attributes of the physical, economic, and social environment of a city. Information about the physical environment was derived from Landsat TM/ETM+ image data, whereas information regarding the socio-economic environment of the city was obtained from national census data. In particular, the indicators used to describe the physical environment were land-surface temperature (LST), vegetation, and land cover and use. On the other hand, the indicators used to describe the socio-economic environment of the city were population density, education level, unemployment rate, percentage of employers, and household density. The QOL index was calculated at a municipality level by integrating all indicators mentioned above in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. The QOL index was applied to measure the QOL in the city of Athens, Greece, and to assess changes over the decade 1991–2001. It is concluded that the QOL index can be a valuable tool for urban design because it can provide urban planners and local administrators with a broad overview of trends,

  • Creative Disability Classification Systems
    Creative disability classification systems To the memory of Antonis Pavlis Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87 ANTONIA PAVLI Creative disability classification systems The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Cover photo: Stelios Petros Chalas © Antonia Pavli, 2017 Title: Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Publisher: Örebro University 2017 www.publications.oru.se Print: Örebro University, Repro 8/2017 ISSN 1650-1128 ISBN 978-91-7529-204-5 Abstract Antonia Pavli (2017): Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015. Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87. Disability classification systems belong to the core of states’ social/disability policies through which persons with disabilities are classified as eligible or ineligible for having access to disability allowances. The study of disability classification systems has stimulated the interest of several scholars from the broader area of disability studies. Either by conducting comparative studies between different states and describing the similarities and differences of these systems around the world or by conducting studies focusing on the politics and semantics in the development of disability classification systems in specific states, all studies have shown a pluralism in the systems for as- sessing and certifying disability. In Greece, the development of disability classification systems for social welfare reasons emerged as a controversy that lasted for almost twenty years. One factor that strengthened the con- troversy was the outbreak of the economic crisis late in 2009 followed by the announcement by the governmental authorities of the enactment of a new system for assessing and certifying disability as part of the austerity- driven policies that the Greek state would enact for facing the consequences of the economic crisis.

  • Linking DPSIR Model and Water Quality Indices to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals in Groundwater Resources
    hydrology Article Linking DPSIR Model and Water Quality Indices to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals in Groundwater Resources Dimitrios E. Alexakis Laboratory of Geoenvironmental Science and Environmental Quality Assurance, Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, University of West Attica, 250 Thivon & P.Ralli Str., 12241 Athens, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-210-5381256 Abstract: The achievement of sustainable development goals in groundwater resources related to water quality issues is a critical question in many regions. This study aims to combine powerful tools for helping stakeholders and policymakers achieve sustainable development goals in groundwater resources of agricultural areas. The DPSIR (Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response) model in combination with the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment Water Quality Index and Groundwater Directive 2006/118/European Community—Threshold Values was applied using a hydrogeochemical dataset derived from the analysis of groundwater samples collected from − −1 − 31 monitoring sites in an unconfined alluvial aquifer. Elevated Cl (up to 423.2 mg L ), NO3 (up to 180.1 mg L−1) concentration and electrical conductivity (up to 2037 µS cm−1) value are observed for groundwater samples of the study area. The outcome of the “One Out-All Out” procedure revealed that the groundwater in 42% of the monitored sites is unsuitable for drinking according to the health-based guideline values established by Directive 98/83/European Community. A difficulty to achieve targets under Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 6 in the study area is revealed. The Citation: Alexakis, D.E. Linking proposed response actions are reported.

    Mass Gatherings and Public Health The Experience of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Edited by: Agis D. Tsouros and Panos A. Efstathiou Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity Mass Gatherings and Public Health Mass Gatherings and Public Health The Experience of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Edited by: Agis D. Tsouros and Panos A. Efstathiou ABSTRACT Large-scale mass gatherings, such as the Olympic Games, represent significant challenges for the entire health sector of host countries. Emerging global public health threats of natural or deliberate nature increase considerably the health and safety vulnerability of mass gatherings. Major areas of public health responsibility include health care capacity and mass-casualty preparedness; disease surveillance and outbreak response; environmental health and food safety; public information and health promotion; public health preparedness and response to incidents potentially involving the deliberate use of explosives, biological and chemical agents or radionuclear material; and leadership, operations and unified command. This book comprehensively and systematically presents the experience of and lessons learned from the public health aspects of the preparations and conduct of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Documenting this experience can be a source of valuable information and knowledge for governments at all levels and communities in building their capacity for not only large-scale events but also preparing to deal with the avian influenza pandemic threat or other emergencies such as flooding and phenomena often associated with climate change.
