Improved the last sentence's English translation from the Greek text.


Neue Begründung:

These violations not only infringe upon our right to utilize the public, common goods of the seashore and beach but also undermine our trust in the authorities responsible for upholding the law. According to Article 15 of the JMD no. 38609 EX 2023 (Government Gazette 1432 / B ́ / 10-03-2023), such infractions should result in the unilateral withdrawal of concessions by the State.

We respectfully urge you to fulfil your responsibilities by conducting necessary inspections to prevent further violations and ensure the protection of our island's beaches. Additionally, we emphasize that these actions align with the Council of State's decision (Council of State 3346/1999), which mandates the free and unhindered visit, stay, crossing, and swimming in the common areas of the seashore and beach.

To facilitate your understanding of the situation, we include links to:

• a website showcasing legally approved concessions of coastal areas in 2022 (concessions for 2023 are yet to be signed and published);
• a document presenting cases of possible abuses. The document contains photos depicting possible cases of abuse, accompanied by descriptive text;
• a document revealing inconsistencies in beach and coastline concessions.

We urge you to take prompt action on this issue. By doing so, we can safeguard our valuable public resources and reinforce citizens' confidence in the governance of statesa thatstate upholdgrounded on the principlesrule of law and order.law.
