Distribution of milestones and targets

(14)The distribution of milestones and targets in instalments should be modified to take into account the amendments to the plan and the indicative timeline presented by Greece.

Corrections of clerical errors

(15)Four clerical errors have been identified in the text of the Council Implementing Decision, affecting five milestones and four measures under four components. The Council Implementing Decision should be amended to correct these clerical errors that do not reflect the content of the RRP submitted to the Commission on 27 April 2021, as agreed between the Commission and Greece. Those clerical errors relate to, milestone 140 of measure 16913 A New Strategy for Lifelong Skilling: Modernising and Upgrading Greece’s Upskilling and Reskilling System under component 3.2 Education, vocational education and training, and skills, milestones 339 and 340 of measure 16985 Modifications to Greece’s tax policy framework under component 4.1 Making taxes more growth friendly and improving tax administration and tax collection, milestone 269 and the description of measure 16833 Implementation of EASA compliance rectification works under component 4.6 Modernise and improve resilience of key economic sectors, milestone 319 and the description of measure 16543 Actions for the simplification of the business environment and its upgrading in quality and safety under component 4.7 Improve competitiveness and promote private investments and trade. Those corrections do not affect the implementation of the measures concerned.

Commission’s assessment

(16)The Commission has assessed the amended RRP against the assessment criteria laid down in Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241.

(17)The Commission considers that the amendments put forward by Greece do not affect the positive assessment of the RRP set out in the Council Implementing Decision ST 10152/21 of 13 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the RRP for Greece regarding the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of the RRP against the assessment criteria laid down in Article 19(3), points (a), (b), (c), (d),(da), (db), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).

Do no significant harm

(18)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (d), of and Annex V, criterion 2.4, to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP is expected to ensure that no measure (Rating A) for the implementation of reforms and investments projects included in this RRP does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council
[6](#footnote7)
 (the principle of ‘do no significant harm’).

(19)The amended RRP assesses compliance with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ following the methodology set out in the technical guidance provided in the Commission Notice entitled ‘Technical guidance on the application of “do no significant harm” under the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation’
[7](#footnote8)
.

(20)Greece submitted an assessment of the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ for each new and substantially revised measure of the amended RRP. The information provided shows that the RRP is expected to ensure compliance with that principle. The information provided by Greece makes it possible to conclude that the RRP is expected to ensure that none of the measures does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852.

Contribution to the green transition including biodiversity

(21)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (e), of and Annex V, criterion 2.5, to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP contains measures that contribute to a large extent (Rating A) to the green transition, including biodiversity, or to addressing the challenges resulting therefrom. The measures supporting climate objectives account for an amount which represents 38.1% of the amended RRP’s total allocation and 81.6% of the total estimated costs of measures in the REPowerEU chapter calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP is consistent with the information included in the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030.

(22)The amended RRP maintains measures supporting the green transition that contribute to achieving the 2030-2050 targets and the objective of Union’s climate neutrality by 2050, as well as fostering biodiversity. For instance, the ambition of measure 16924 has been considerably increased in the amended RRP, as the target for electric buses for public transport has been upscaled from 220 to 425.

Contribution to the digital transition

(23)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (f), of and Annex V, criterion 2.6, to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP contains measures that contribute to a large extent (Rating A) to the digital transition or to addressing the challenges resulting from it. The measures supporting digital objectives account for an amount which represents 22.3% of the amended RRP’s total allocation calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Annex VII to that Regulation.

(24)The measures in the amended RRP continue contributing to the digital transition or helping to address the related challenges and positively address Greece’s shortcomings in the digital field as identified in the second State of the Digital Decade report 2025. The amended RRP continues to significantly address the digital transition challenges faced by Greece in the areas of connectivity, digital public services, human capital and digital skills, the digitalisation of businesses and the adoption of advanced digital technology.

Costing

(25)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (i), of and Annex V, criterion 2.9, to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the justification provided in the amended RRP on the amount of the estimated total costs of the RRP is to a medium extent (Rating B) reasonable and plausible, is in line with the principle of cost efficiency and is commensurate to the expected national economic and social impact.

(26)The justification provided by Greece on the amount of the estimated costs of the RRP was to a medium extent reasonable, plausible and in line with the principle of cost efficiency. Greece provided sufficient information and evidence that estimated costs were not covered by existing or planned Union financing. However, in a limited number of cases, costs estimates could not be sufficiently substantiated. Overall, this warrants a rating of B under the assessment criterion of Article 19(3), point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2021/241.

Any other assessment criteria

(27)The Commission considers that the amendments put forward by Greece do not affect the positive assessment of the RRP set out in the Council Implementing Decision ST 10152/21 of 13 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the RRP for Greece regarding the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of the RRP against the assessment criteria laid down in Article 19(3), points (a), (b), (c), (da), (db), (g), (h), (j) and (k).

Measures supporting investment operations contributing to the objectives of the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP)

(28)In accordance with Article 4(4) of the Regulation (EU) 2024/795, Greece considered as a matter of priority projects that have been awarded a Sovereignty Seal pursuant to Article 4(1) of the Regulation (EU) 2024/795. However, Greece considered that no project having been awarded a Sovereignty Seal was to be included in the amended RRP because their timeline goes beyond 2026.

Positive assessment

(29)Following the positive assessment by the Commission of the amended RRP with the finding that the RRP satisfactorily complies with the criteria for assessment set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/241, in accordance with Article 20(2) of and Annex V to that Regulation, the reforms and investment projects necessary for the implementation of the amended RRP, the relevant milestones, targets and indicators, and the amount made available from the Union for the implementation of the amended RRP in the form of non-repayable financial support should be set out.

Financial contribution

(30)The estimated total costs of Greece’s amended RRP is EUR 36 371 226 245. As the amount of the estimated total costs of the amended RRP is higher than the updated maximum financial contribution available for Greece, the financial contribution determined in accordance with Article 4a of Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Article 20(4) and 21a(6) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 allocated for Greece’s amended RRP should be equal to EUR 18 220 378 076. Therefore, the financial contribution made available to Greece remains unchanged.

Loans

(31)The loan support made available to Greece amounting to EUR 17 727 538 920 remains unchanged.

(32)Council Implementing Decision ST 10152/21 INIT; ST 10152/21 ADD 1 of 13 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the RRP for Greece should therefore be amended accordingly. For the sake of clarity, the Annex to that Council Implementing Decision should be replaced entirely,

C.1. 
   Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support

Investment: Produc-E Green (measure ID: 16831)

This investment constitutes of two projects that both aim to contribute to the low carbon economy and to resilience to climate change. The first project shall support the supply-side of e-mobility and the promotion of the green transition through the development of more than 10 industrial units for innovative products or services, for example the recycling of electric car batteries through re-use of raw materials like lithium and cobalt or the designing of electric vehicles and regular or high power charge points, and/or investments related to the production or processing of materials (excluding mining), equipment or parts used in the green transition industry, which could include indicatively parts of electric cars, ships, circuit boards, solar panel, solar heaters, wind turbines, cabling, Building Energy Management Systems, installation equipment for RES projects, improved efficiency components like heat pumps and any type of equipment especially in sectors not covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS). In order to ensure that the measure complies with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use
[6](#footnote7)
; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks
[7](#footnote8)
;

  

(iii) activities related to waste landfills, incinerators
[8](#footnote9)
 and mechanical biological treatment plants
[9](#footnote10)
; and (iv) activities where the long-term disposal of waste may cause harm to the environment. The terms of reference shall additionally require that only activities that comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation may be selected.

The second project shall provide support to the development of the first CO2 storage facility in Greece. The carbon capture and storage facility is designed to provide long term storage for CO2 captured from local emitters (up to a distance of 150 km) and shall arrive at the facility by pipeline whilst CO2 captured at remote sites shall arrive by ship and enter a buffer storage facility. The capacity of the carbon capture and storage facility shall initially have a CO2 injection rate of one million tonnes/year and shall provide capacity for, at least, 20 years. It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the carbon capture and storage facility shall operate without using any commercial oil extraction or oil recovery activities (some extraction of oil or gas may be required for safety or technical reasons. Further, the carbon capture and storage shall also comply with the requirement that there shall be no technological applications, neither any type of facilities and equipment engineered towards Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) application and increased oil production. Care shall be taken that any possible extraction of oil or gas is limited to the indispensable needs of managing pressure and ensuring safety of the storage sites and that any such extraction shall be done only if indispensable to ensure the safe storage of CO2. The CO2 along with any oil or gas that may be extracted shall be separated and fed back for permanent storage.

The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

G. COMPONENT 2.3: DIGITALISATION OF BUSINESS

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience concerns the provision of capital to Greek small and medium-sized enterprises to finance the investment in digital technologies and purchase of associated services. It aims to address the currently low levels of digital maturity among them, including due to low digital skills, whilst fostering productivity and the development of innovative businesses. At the same time, it is expected to help such businesses to adapt to new challenges and take advantage of emerging business trends. In particular, the component provides for the establishment of a single digital marketplace, to which both the suppliers of these products and services shall have access. Promoting the use of electronic payments and sales, upgrading of cash registers and POS ecosystem, and the development of industrial data products are key targets of this component. Further, the component also aims to help to create a digital business ecosystem conducive to the digital transformation of small- and medium-sized enterprises. A central supporting mechanism for small- and medium-sized enterprises, facilitating the provision of training and awareness programs so that they may make the most of the tools and services offered through the digital marketplace, is also envisaged.

The measures are expected to respond to the digital transition and the challenges resulting from it, as they are expected to contribute to the uptake of digital technologies and digital upskilling of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Greece. Further, the measures are also expected to facilitate smart and sustainable growth by further stimulating private investment, thus helping to address the Country Specific Recommendation on public and private investment (CSR 3 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

J. COMPONENT 3.3: IMPROVE RESILIENCE, ACCESSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HEALTHCARE

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan focuses on increasing the resilience of the health care system through various interventions. Part of these measures focus on infrastructural, both physical and digital, and operational improvements to modernise and upgrade the hospital system and the network of health centres. Others aim at supporting and enhancing access, efficiency and resilience of the health-care sector. More specifically, these include measures to strengthen public health and prevention, to increase the capacity of the health-care system to deliver mental health and home care services, to support the transition towards a stronger primary health-care sector and to rationalise pharmaceutical spending and support pharmaceutical R&D. The plan on digitisation of health-care systems and services has the objective to promote efficiency, improve access and increase the overall transparency and quality of public spending in the system. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

This improves the quality of life of patients while freeing up resources for the National Health System. The investment shall implement five subprojects: 1) a needs assessment survey focusing on the identification of good practices, the recording of the needs and the current situation in Greece and the formulation of a proposal for the institutionalization of home care; 2) the implementation of telemedicine applications as monitoring tools for patient support; 3) the creation and implementation of a national registry for patients treated through home care; 4) the determination of standardised therapeutic protocols, as well as quality and safety standards and 5) the establishment of eight Reference Sites (one in each regional health authority). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 30 June 2025.

Investment: Project for the construction of a building dedicated to Cellular & Gene Therapies and Hematology Clinic Laboratories within the General Hospital of Thessaloniki “Papanikolaou” (measure ID: 16793).

The investment foresees the creation of new buildings for the housing of the Laboratories of Cell and Genetic Therapy and Hematology Clinic at Papanikolaou Hospital, in order to keep its services in line with the increased requirements of patient care (malignant haematological diseases) and increasing demand for modern and technologies; it shall also upgrade the existing building for the transfer of laboratories and the day care unit. The newly constructed building shall comply with a Primary Energy Demand (PED) that is at least 20% lower than the NZEB requirement (nearly zero-energy building, national directives). It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

Reform: Personal doctor reform (measure ID: 16984)

The reform aims at increasing the number of personal doctors enrolled in the personal doctor system in order to achieve full population coverage and complete the population registration. The reform shall enable to enlarge the pool of available personal doctors by signing up all current rural doctors as personal doctors and by the creation of new similar positions in all urban, suburban and rural areas where there is still a gap of personal doctors. An incentive mechanism shall be introduced for doctors to become residents in General/Family Medicine or Internal Medicine. The gatekeeping-based system shall be activated. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by Q2 2025.

K. COMPONENT 3.4: INCREASE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE AND INCLUSIVE SOCIAL POLICIES

This component of the Greek recover and resolution plan aims to promote social inclusion with a particular focus on vulnerable groups, while supporting participation of women in the labour market. A large part of the component is dedicated to early childhood education and care, in particular in the form of subsidies for the creation of 1 000 new childcare units in municipalities. The Plan also allows for labour market activation measures for vulnerable groups including beneficiaries of guaranteed minimum income, refugees, homeless people, Roma and people suffering from autism spectrum disorders. A large-scale training programme for small businesses on diversity awareness and several small pilots such as on deinstitutionalization of children, support of persons with disabilities and social housing are also key elements of the plan. The component is in line with the Country Specific Recommendations on labour market and social policy (Country Specific Recommendations 2 2020 and 1 2019) and investment (Country Specific Recommendations 3 2020 and 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

N. COMPONENT 4.3: IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan comprises a number of wide-ranging reforms as well as investments aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Greek Justice system by introducing an ambitious revision of the judicial map of the country, addressing infrastructure needs, adopting measures to increase the digital capacities of the Justice system, modernising the function of courts, setting up a judicial police, and broadening and upgrading the education (both initial and life-long) of magistrates and clerical staff. The measures are expected to support addressing the challenges in the country-specific recommendations regarding public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019, Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020) and structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

N.1. 
   Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support

Investment: New Judicial buildings and renovations (measure ID 16292)

The measure consists of a targeted investment for the construction and renovation of buildings that are part of the judicial system, closely linked with the revision of the judicial map, to maximize judicial efficiency and avoid unnecessary effort and expenses. All properties owned and granted by the Ministry of Justice to the judiciary shall be recorded in the existing electronic platform in order to facilitate monitoring and planning. The newly constructed buildings shall all comply with a Primary Energy Demand (PED) that is at least 20% lower than the NZEB requirement (nearly zero-energy building, national directives). It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol.

The reform of the judicial map shall cover all branches of the judiciary (civil, penal and administrative). Additional actions aim to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Justice:

·the creation of a judicial police to support and enhance the functioning of Justice, by contributing know-how to the investigation of complex crime (including financial crime, corruption and money laundering) and by providing a wide array of services of judicial assistance (assisting in the conduct of preliminary examinations and investigations, the enforcement of judgments and the service of documents and procedural acts, executing warrants, enforcing judgements, maintaining court order, assisting in the submittal of, or response to, requests for judicial assistance and carrying out mandates entrusted to it by the competent courts and public prosecutors), and

·the introduction of a temporary scheme for the provision of financial incentives to judicial clerks, based on objectively measurable individual performance indices and in full consistency with the unified wage grid (Law 4354/2015) without setting any exemption, for the acceleration of the performance of courthouse-related tasks and duties and the elimination of court backlogs.

To complete the reform, a set of measures shall be adopted to establish and strengthen alternative dispute resolution institutions through the provision of training to legal counsels or mediators, and the provision of financial incentives to Mediation Centres to establish user-friendly digital systems.

O. COMPONENT 4.4: STRENGTHEN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR AND CAPITAL MARKETS

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to strengthen the capacity of the financial system to support the development of the economy, through the provision of financing of companies and individuals to develop new activities. It supports addressing the high non-performing exposures (NPEs) and non-performing loans (NPLs) in the Greek banking sector, while also improving access to information regarding the credit profiles of companies and individuals in the market. 

The component shall also support addressing private indebtedness and strengthen capital markets. Structural changes in these two areas shall contribute to growth and shall increase Greece’s economic resilience in view of future shocks. 

The reforms under this component consist of: 

·Enhanced capital market supervision and trustworthiness 

·Strengthening the capacity of the financial system to overcome legacy challenges and finance the real economy

·Upgrade of the digital infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the new unified insolvency framework for the restructuring of debt and 2nd chance

Some of these reforms include actions that address the informational gaps that impede the successful flow of credit and the efficient risk monitoring. These consist of the development of a monitoring registry for private debt, the development of a public credit rating information system, and a central credit registry. Furthermore, the Central Credit Registry, through the collection of relevant data, shall also contribute to the monitoring of the evolution of credit expansion by the Credit Expansion Observatory. These actions also contribute to the digital transition of the Greek economy, since they rely on information technology.

The measures under this component foster economic and institutional resilience, strengthen crisis preparedness and institutional capacity and therefore support addressing the country-specific recommendation on the “Structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy” (Country Specific Recommendation 1 2019 and Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

O.1. 
   Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support

Reform: Enhanced capital market supervision and trustworthiness (measure ID 16581)

The reform aims to enhance capital markets supervision by 1) investing into digital transformation of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) digital capacities and digitalising its internal processes and organization, and 2) codifying the regulatory and legislative framework for capital markets to enhance capital-market’s supervision capacity. The reform shall entry into force by Q1 2021 and the investment in the IT system by 31 December 2025.

Reform: Strengthening the capacity of the financial system to overcome legacy challenges and finance the real economy (measure ID 16957)

This comprehensive reform aims at reducing private debt stock by improving the insolvency process and empowering the NPL market as well as preventing future private debt build-up via elminating information gaps. The reform consists of the following parts.

1.First, it concerns the improvement of the e-auction process and expanding the information available on the auctioned assets in the e-auctions platform.

2.Second, it concerns the completion of policy actions envisaged by the National Strategy for Private Debt Management, in particular through the:

a.Establishment of the Public Credit Rating Information System, with the aim to eliminate information asymmetry between the public sector entities and banks, based on public sector data and information.

b.Launch of the IT system of the  Private Debt Monitoring Registry which collects data from public and private creditors, as well as from other relevant sources.

c.Support of the deepening the NPL secondary market via launching a common transaction platform for NPL and establishing common data templates.

3.The third sub-reform refers to the establishment of the Central Credit Registry (CCR) that would complement the Hercules Asset Protection Scheme, enhancing the NPL secondary market. The CCR shall be hosted by the Bank of Greece and it shall record the payment history of each loan of the customers and the types of collateral provided. The CCR, through the collection of relevant data shall also contribute to the operation and functions of the Credit Expansion Observatory for the monitoring of the evolution of credit expansion. The CCR shall enable access to credit information, tackling market failures due to asymmetric information, thus facilitating access to credit.

4.The reform aims also at speeding up the handling of oppositions against enforcement procedure and streamlining the judicial proceedings through the introduction of targeted amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP), such as, but not limited to (a) the application of faster and more flexible rules provided for in interim measures procedure by adapting it to the specific enforcement proceedings (judgements demanding full proof, allowing the right of an appeal), in order to achieve the acceleration and streamlining of the resolution of cases (oppositions); (b) separation of pre-auction substantive oppositions directed against the title/payment order (art. 632 et seq. CCP) from oppositions during the enforcement proceedings, which raise procedural issues after serving the enforcement order (art. 933 CCP); (c) changes in the territorial competence of the courts with regard to the trial of enforcement-related disputes (prorogation of jurisdiction). According to a predefined clause included in the contracts which the credit/financial institutions typically sign with the debtors, the Athens First Instance Court is the competent court for nearly all enforcement proceedings throughout the country – irrespective of where the property is located. The abolition of this provision would relieve the central court of a significant burden, and (d) the adoption of a law creating a mechanism in order to obtain hearing dates for pending liquidation cases within a shorter time horizon aims at addressing the problem of backlogs, as does the formation of ad-hoc judges’ panels to deal with it at courts facing the heaviest burden.

The implementation of the overall reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

Reform: Upgrade of the digital infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the new unified insolvency framework for the restructuring of debt and second chance (measure ID 16580)

The reform aims to upgrade the necessary digital infrastructure needed to support the early warning and preventive debt restructuring procedures provided through the new unified/codified legal framework for the management of debt of individuals and legal entities;

This reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

R. COMPONENT 4.7: IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS AND PROMOTE PRIVATE INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to incentivise private investment and increase economic extroversion by addressing long-term structural issues and creating a business environment conducive to development of economic activity. It consists of measures to encourage the growth of firms' size to achieve economies of scale and help them penetrate foreign markets, lift excessive administrative burdens to businesses, foster compliance and a level-playing field through effective market surveillance, and create a simpler and more predictable regulatory framework. These measures are complemented by the proposal to use loan support under the Recovery and Resilience Facility to facilitate the provision of financial incentives to the private sector, aiming to promote private investments. This loan support is expected to be channelled to the economy through three different channels, namely financial institutions (through corporate bond purchases or syndicated loans), an equity platform, and the utilisation of a part of Greece’s InvestEU national compartment. The component supports addressing the country-specific recommendation on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020, and Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

SECTION 2: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE REPOWEREU CHAPTER

The goal of the REPowerEU chapter is to support Greece’s ambitions in terms of energy independence and green transition, in the context of the new geopolitical and energy market situation. The reforms and investments under REPowerEU aim to strengthen Greece's energy sovereignty and accelerate the decarbonisation of its economy.

All of the investments in the REPowerEU chapter entail a cross border dimension, covering investments in energy storage, decarbonisation of industry and energy efficiency. The REPowerEU chapter introduces new measures contributing to reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, as per the country specific recommendations (CSR) adopted in 2023 and 2023 (CSR 4 2023 and CSR 4 2022).

New reform measures aim to further expand the deployment of renewable energy by completing the legal framework for offshore wind farms, facilitating investments in energy storage, smart grid and putting in place new legislative frameworks for the production of renewable hydrogen and bio-methane. A new reform aims at fostering energy sharing and decentralised forms of producing renewable energy (such as self-consumption and energy communities). New investment measures support the increase of storage capacity and the decentralised production of renewable energy. Further, additional support is allocated to improve the energy efficiency of households, including targeted support for energy-poor households, and the private sector.

It is expected that no measure under the REPowerEU chapter does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

SECTION 4: ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

1.Arrangements for monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan

The monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan of Greece shall take place in accordance with the following arrangements.

The main body responsible for the coordination of the implementation and the monitoring of the recovery and resilience plan will be the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, an independent special public service of the Ministry of Finance, established with the law 4738/2020. The Recovery Resilience Facility Coordination Agency shall also be the responsible body to verify that the set milestones and targets of the recovery and resilience plan have been completed and shall also act as the (single) liaison between the European Commission and the Greek authorities. Specifically, its tasks entail the active monitoring of the progress of the projects, on the basis of the agreed milestones and targets, and the submission of the payment requests to the European Commission upon verification of their completion. The latter shall be accompanied by a management declaration that the funds were used for their intended purposes and in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, as well as by a summary of the audits carried out, including weaknesses identified and any corrective actions taken.

The overall responsibility for the implementation of each specific measure falls under the competency of the relevant Ministry whose services will support the monitoring of the projects’ progress and maintain close cooperation with the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency.

All measures in the plan shall be implemented by national bodies (“implementing bodies”) appointed by the competent Ministry and shall be responsible for the achievement of the agreed milestones and targets as well as the reporting of all data and documentation to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency through the management information system that shall be established.

Finally, the Financial Audit Committee (EDEL, which is part of the General Secretariat for Fiscal Policy (State General Accounting Office) of the Ministry of Finance, shall safeguard the observance of the principles of sound financial management.

2.Arrangements for providing full access by the Commission to the underlying data

In order to provide full access to the Commission to the underlying relevant data, Greece shall have in place the following arrangements:

The Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, as the central coordinating body for Greece’s recovery and resilience plan and its implementation, is responsible for the overall coordination and monitoring of the plan. In particular, it acts as a coordinating body for monitoring progress on milestones and targets, for monitoring and, where appropriate, implementing control and audit activities, and for providing reporting and requests for payments. It coordinates the reporting of milestones and targets, relevant indicators, but also qualitative financial information and other data, such as on final recipients. The data encoding is taking place throughout implementing bodies, which are obliged to report the required data to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency through Management Information System.

In accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, upon completion of the relevant agreed milestones and targets in Section 2.1 of this Annex, Greece shall submit to the Commission a duly justified request for payment of the financial contribution and, where relevant, of the loan. Greece shall ensure that, upon request, the Commission has full access to the underlying relevant data that supports the due justification of the request for payment, both for the assessment of the request for payment in accordance with Article 24(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and for audit and control purposes.
