The recent decision of the Greek Council of State mentioned by the Honourable Member does not concern
the area to be affected by the planned project of the Olympic canoeing and rowing center.

As regards the Table Tennis Stadium in the Veikou Park, on 15 February 2001, the Commission requested
the Greek Authorities to provide information. Greece has not yet replied.

With reference to the Olympic village near the National Park of Parnitha, the Commission has decided to
close a formal complaint lodged in 2000 related to the modification of the town planning map, as there is
no Community competence in this matter.
