the Slovak Republic are fixed at SKK 1 700 per person per day of residence under Article 4 of the Act
No 48/2002 Coll. on Stay of Aliens and on amendment of certain acts as amended.

The sum of SKK 1 700 is made up of the following amounts:

(a) SKK 1 000 for accommodation;

(b) SKK 100 for breakfast;

(c) SKK 200 for lunch;

(d) SKK 200 for dinner;

(e) SKK 200 spending money.

An invitation certified by a police department may take the place of the financial resources.

GREECE

Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006, p. 19

Common Ministerial Decision No 3021/22/10-f of 24 December 2007 fixes the amount for the means of
subsistence which foreign nationals — with the exception of nationals of the Member States of the European
Union — must have at their disposal if they wish to enter Greek territory.

Pursuant to the abovementioned Decision, the amount of foreign currency which foreign nationals of States
which are not members of the European Union must have at their disposal in order to enter Greece is fixed
at EUR 50 per person per day, and a minimum total amount of EUR 300 for a stay of up to 5 days.

Where the foreign national is a minor the above amounts are reduced by 50 %.

Nationals of countries which oblige Greek nationals to change currency at the borders are also subject to
this obligation in accordance with the principle of reciprocity.
