Fylakio Pre-Removal Centre and COVID-19 Fylakio Pre-removal Centre Information provided by NGO HumanRights360 PRDC in Fylakio Orestiada (Pre-removal Detention Center) There are 147 people in detention at the Pre-removal Detention Center in Fylakio Orestiada, with a capacity of 374 people, assuring that as for now no overcrowding situation exists. The suspension of the asylum applications, applied by a legislative act, for individuals who entered Greece irregularly and were arrested by the Greek authorities after the 1st of March 2020, leaving them without the right to express their will to apply for asylum, led to very low arrival flows in Evros region during March. The direct and strict measures taken against COVID-19 by the Greek government, also led the Greek asylum service to decide a suspension of all services to the public from 13/03/2020 till 10/04/2020, in order to protect public health and limit the further dissemination of virus COVID-19. Recently it has been announced that the suspension will be extended until 15/5/2020. During this period no registrations or asylum interviews take place, neither do notifications of asylum decisions or files of appeals. Due to these strict measures taken against COVID-19 by the greek government, the access of the NGOs and their Lawyers to the premises of the PRDC and the detainees has temporarily been suspended till further notice. The official reply of the director of the PRDC, to relevant requests by members of the NGO’s that are active at the field, was the following: “Visits of NGOs or individuals to police and detention centers as well as their actions are suspended till further notice. Access is allowed only to those who work there… As an exception, in special cases where the physical communication of lawyers with detainees is required, and these cases need to be adequately justified, telephone contact with the director of the detention center is a prerequisite, regarding the approval or not of contacting detainees.” Therefore, the UNHCR is the only organization that has limited access within the premises and the detainees of the PRDC. Even before the above suspension, the members of the NGO’s and Lawyers had to provide an early notice, at least 3 days before the visit, in order to get an access approval and meet with the detainees. During March there were approximately 350 arrivals, most of them from Alexandroupolis (app. 190), from Orestiada (app. 100), Komotini (app. 25) and by the sea (app. 35). Main Countries of Origin of these people are Turkey : 40%, Afghanistan: 40%, Iran : 10%, Syria : 10%. The most vulnerable cases concern families from Syria or Afghanistan or people from Turkey. None of them had the right to express their will to apply for asylum due to the current legislative act. Many families from Syria or Afghanistan remain at the PRDC with their minors, till their transfer to the camps of Malakasa or Serres. Single men are being transferred to the PRDC of Paranesti Drama or Xanthi. Since they are not asylum seekers they have been given a deportation notice. For some of them there is already a trial pending, while for others a trial is expected to take place for illegal entrance into the country, but court procedures have also been suspended. Deportations have not been officially suspended, but are so practically in view of the general travel ban, and none were yet been conducted. On the 25/3/2020 an arrest of 7 people from Syria took place very close to Orestiada city on their attempt to cross the river Evros and since that date there was no other official arrest in Evros region till today. These newly arrived third-country nationals were transferred to the Pre-removal Detention Center in Fylakio Orestiada, which had already been disinfected both in cells and all administrative rooms and were placed in quarantine in a separate and isolated cell, for at least 14 days, during which time they did not have any access to asylum procedure, lawyers, NGOs or any other organization or service. From the beginning of the COVID-19 restriction measures, it is estimated that 35 people were released by the PRDC either because of their vulnerability (two pregnant women from Afghanistan and Syria with their husbands and their young minors and an adult man from Iran who alleged that he suffers from cancer) or because of force majeure and the suspension of the asylum procedures (women, families, couples, young adults from Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan). The personnel within the PRDC in Fylakio Orestiada, apart from the police staff, has been appointed by the Health Units S.A. and consists of one psychologist, two nurses and one doctor. During March a social worker and an administrative employee have been also appointed and one more doctor and interpreters are being expected to arrive soon at the PRDC. The personnel and the police assured that additionally to the disinfection within the premises, also leaflets and posters of the general secretariat for civil protection regarding COVID-19 have been placed in prominent points within the detention center. No COVID-19 incident has yet been noticed or announced within the premises of the Pre- removal Detention Center in Fylakio Orestiada. RIC in Fylakio Orestiada (Reception and Identification Centre) There are 241 people at the Reception and Identification Centre in Fylakio Orestiada, under registration and identification procedures, the only closed RIC in Greece. The official capacity of the RIC is 318 people, but with the appropriate space management the capacity can reach up to 340-380 people the most, assuring that as for now no overcrowding situation exists. Among the 241 people there are 160 unaccompanied and separated minors, who are under protective custody by the prosecutor’s order as a temporary guardian, until a shelter will be found for them through the National Centre for Social Solidarity (NCCS). Within the RIC there are 4 controlled wings (A-D), with 6 containers and 1 more controlled wing with 7 containers. From the beginning of the COVID-19 restriction measures and the Agnodiki project applied in all RICs, 1 container in each wing, apart from wing E, has been reformed in order to host any future COVID-19 patient. Moreover, 2 extra containers outside of the wings have been reformed into treatment rooms for any future COVID-19 patients and protective measures among the employees and the police staff (masks, gloves, antiseptics, 2 meter distance rule, rotated physical presence, antiseptic methods to anyone that enters the RIC) have been taken. The organizations and the institutions operating within the RIC continue to provide their services mainly via telecommute, showing compliance with the containment measures announced by the Greek government or by rotated physical presence for each member. It has been announced by the UNHCR that projectors and screens will be very soon put into the RIC in order for the detainees to be constantly informed about the COVID-19. The National Public Health Organization (NPHO), to ensure the coverage of the population's medical needs within the RIC had appointed 3 psychologists, 3 social workers, 2 nurses, 2 first responders, 1 doctor, 1 midwife and 1 coordinator, who have everyday presence at the premises of the RIC and are prepared to face any future COVID-19 incident. Because of the suspension of the asylum applications, applied by a legislative act, for individuals who entered Greece illegally and were arrested by the Greek authorities after the 1st of March 2020 and the direct and strict measures taken against COVID-19 by the Greek government, the RIC which is the only closed center in Greece, does not accept newly arrived people within the premises until further notice. In total, during March 146 individuals, 10 of whom were minors, were exceptionally recorded in the RIC in a try of decongesting the boarder guards. The last record within the RIC were two Syrian unaccompanied minors, who arrived at the RIC on appr. 20 of March, after a direct order of the prosecutor to get under protective custody and as soon as they entered the premises, they were put into a 14 days quarantine. No COVID-19 incident has yet been noticed or announced within the premises of the RIC in Fylakio Orestiada. .

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

  • For Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Description and Economic Evaluation of a “Zero-Waste Mortar-Producing Process” for Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece Alexandros Sikalidis 1,2 and Christina Emmanouil 3,* 1 Amsterdam Business School, Accounting Section, University of Amsterdam, 1012 WX Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2 Faculty of Economics, Business and Legal Studies, International Hellenic University, 57001 Thessaloniki, Greece 3 School of Spatial Planning and Development, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-995638 Received: 2 July 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: The constant increase of municipal solid wastes (MSW) as well as their daily management pose a major challenge to European countries. A significant percentage of MSW originates from household activities. In this study we calculate the costs of setting up and running a zero-waste mortar-producing (ZWMP) process utilizing MSW in Northern Greece. The process is based on a thermal co-processing of properly dried and processed MSW with raw materials (limestone, clay materials, silicates and iron oxides) needed for the production of clinker and consequently of mortar in accordance with the Greek Patent 1003333, which has been proven to be an environmentally friendly process. According to our estimations, the amount of MSW generated in Central Macedonia, Western Macedonia and Eastern Macedonia and Thrace regions, which is conservatively estimated at 1,270,000 t/y for the year 2020 if recycling schemes in Greece are not greatly ameliorated, may sustain six ZWMP plants while offering considerable environmental benefits. This work can be applied to many cities and areas, especially when their population generates MSW at the level of 200,000 t/y, hence requiring one ZWMP plant for processing.

  • Music and Traditions of Thrace (Greece): a Trans-Cultural Teaching Tool 1
    MUSIC AND TRADITIONS OF THRACE (GREECE): A TRANS-CULTURAL TEACHING TOOL 1 Kalliopi Stiga 2 Evangelia Kopsalidou 3 Abstract: The geopolitical location as well as the historical itinerary of Greece into time turned the country into a meeting place of the European, the Northern African and the Middle-Eastern cultures. Fables, beliefs and religious ceremonies, linguistic elements, traditional dances and music of different regions of Hellenic space testify this cultural convergence. One of these regions is Thrace. The aim of this paper is firstly, to deal with the music and the dances of Thrace and to highlight through them both the Balkan and the middle-eastern influence. Secondly, through a listing of music lessons that we have realized over the last years, in schools and universities of modern Thrace, we are going to prove if music is or not a useful communication tool – an international language – for pupils and students in Thrace. Finally, we will study the influence of these different “traditions” on pupils and students’ behavior. Key words: Thrace; music; dances; multi-cultural influence; national identity; trans-cultural teaching Resumo: A localização geopolítica, bem como o itinerário histórico da Grécia através do tempo, transformou o país num lugar de encontro das culturas europeias, norte-africanas e do Médio Oriente. Fábulas, crenças e cerimónias religiosas, elementos linguísticos, danças tradicionais e a música das diferentes regiões do espaço helénico são testemunho desta convergência cultural. Uma destas regiões é a Trácia. O objectivo deste artigo é, em primeiro lugar, tratar da música e das danças da Trácia e destacar através delas as influências tanto dos Balcãs como do Médio Oriente.

  • Decentralization, Local Government Reforms and Perceptions of Local Actors: the Greek Case
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Decentralization, Local Government Reforms and Perceptions of Local Actors: The Greek Case Ioannidis, Panos 3 September 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/66420/ MPRA Paper No. 66420, posted 04 Sep 2015 08:46 UTC Decentralization, Local Government Reforms and Perceptions of Local Actors: The Greek Case Dr. Panos Ioannidis Abstract Decentralization deployed in the last two decades in Greece via two local government reforms. Kapodistrias Plan and Kallikrates Project amalgamated successively the huge number of 5.775 municipalities and communities into 325 enlarged municipalities, institutionalized the 13 regions as second tiers of local government and transferred an unparalleled set of rights and powers to municipalities and regions. The abovementioned reforms changed the operation of local governments and established new conditions for the role of local actors in regional planning. This paper aims to assess the decentralization process in Greece, by taking into account the perceptions of local actors. A primary research was held in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region, in order to understand the affiliation of local actors to the reforms. Results demonstrate that Kapodistrias reform had bigger social acceptance than Kallikrates, as economic crisis and rough spatial planning deter the effective implementation of the second wave of reforms. Non institutional actors and members of societal and cultural organizations perceived more substantially the reforms, than institutional actors and non members of local organizations did. Further improvements are necessary for the modernization of Greek local governments, in the fields of financial decentralization and administrative capacity Key Words: Decentralization, Local Government Reforms, Greece, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace JEL Classification: H73, R28, R58 Ph.D.

  • Extension of Natural Gas Distribution Network Todorovic Symeonides 07 December 2020 | Contributed by Rokas Law Firm
    ENERGY & NATURAL RESOURCES - GREECE AUTHOR Mira Extension of natural gas distribution network Todorovic Symeonides 07 December 2020 | Contributed by Rokas Law Firm Decision 677/2020 Decision 853/2020 Decision 673/2020 Public procurement procedures In May and July 2020 the Regulatory Authority for Energy approved three five-year development plans for the extension of the natural gas distribution network. Decision 677/2020 Decision 677/2020 (OJ B' 2981/2020), published on 22 July 2020, approved the five-year natural gas network development plan for Thessalonica and Thessaly for 2020 to 2024. The plan provides for the extension of: medium-pressure networks (19 bar) by 36.6km in Thessalonica and 7.7km in Thessaly; and low-pressure networks by 250.5km in Thessalonica and 175.9km in Thessaly. This is a significant increase in connections to the network and supply quantities. The extension budget is estimated to be €145 million. Decision 853/2020 Decision 853/2020 (OJ B 2836/2020), published on 13 July 2020, approved the five-year natural gas network development plan for the rest of Greece (ie, areas of Greece other than Attica, Thessaloniki and Thessaly). This plan regulates the development of the network in the following prefectures: Continental Greece; Central Macedonia; East Macedonia and Traci; West Greece; Peloponnesus; West Macedonia; Kozani; and Epirus. A total extension of approximately 130km in medium-pressure networks and 1694km in low-pressure distribution networks is planned. The intention is for the Corporate Pact for Development Framework (a Greek state development fund that is financed predominantly by the European structural and investment funds) to finance 35% of the extension, with the remaining 65% financed by the network operator (through loans and the increase of capital).
