We, the undersigned citizens, residents, part-time residents or visitors of the island of Paros, bring to your attention a matter of great concern regarding numerous violations and arbitrary actions by entrepreneurs who have been granted the right of simple use of common areas of the seashore and beach by the Municipality of Paros. Over the years, we have observed a consistent disregard for the terms and conditions set forth in these concessions. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to address these violations and ensure the protection of our legally guaranteed rights to use the public, common goods of the seashore and beach.
The violations we have witnessed include the following:

1. Unauthorized occupation of a larger area of public space than specified by Joint Ministerial Decision 38609 EX 2023 (Government Gazette 1432 / B ́ / 10-03-2023), surpassing the limits allowed by the relevant licenses for the concession of simple use of common areas of the seashore and beach (article 12, paragraph c).
2. Placing tables, chairs, umbrellas, and sunbeds at a significantly higher density than permitted and within a distance of less than five meters from the coastline (Article 12, paragraph 3).
3. Noise pollution caused by excessively loud music surpassing the maximum permissible limit of 50 decibels (Annex 4, paragraph 5).
4. Construction of permanent/semi-permanent structures on the seashore and beach, such as floors, masonry, pergolas, and buildings, in violation of the relevant legislation (Annex 1 of the JMD).
5. Impeding unhindered access and common use of the coasts through the placement of signs or other means.
6. De facto privatization of adjacent beaches by hotel or villa owners, obstructing citizens' access with deterrent signs or fences.
