    Article 2 – Definitions
    Meaning: ‘Satisfactory conservation status of a species’
    Specify how it will be determined, by whom, by what criteria and each time. Where will these assessments be announced and what possibility will there be for those who disagree with the assessments to point this out and request a modification of the "scientific assessments"?
    Meaning: ‘Foreign – invasive species’.
    The tactics of past years (either because of lack of knowledge or because of the lack of systematic re-checking of the data cited in the various ecological reports) whereby wild species, rare or endangered, were transferred from care centres or elsewhere on other grounds (study, ringing, etc.) to places other than those from which these species were originally identified or detached, may have created distortions in the actual spatial data of certain species. With the chaos that has prevailed for years in general in studies, the drafting of management plans and environmental awareness actions, uncontrolled "enrichments" or "transfers and releases into the nature of rare or endangered species, cured or others", etc. Since there is no state basis for recording these actions (for the whole country), not only must such actions cease, but for every release or transfer of wild species, a relevant reference protocol must be drawn up and submitted to a competent management authority. This information should be publicly accessible and available at any time to any EU audit authority or competent international bodies requesting it.
    Meaning: Ecotourism.
    The statement that ecotourism, unlike mass tourism, must not exceed the carrying capacity of the area in question, seems to me to be open to misinterpretation. If it is not clarified exactly what the authors of this draft law mean and why the massive restrictions on the development of ecotourism (walks in nature, development of outdoor activities, etc.) are positive for the national economy, there is a risk of misinterpretation later. If this happens, it will create many problems for local communities, especially in the management of their habitats and any infrastructure they have already created with a view to benefiting from ecotourism. The whole issue is purely theoretical, but it needs to be clarified. Ecotourism As it has become known to the public, it seems that it aims at manipulating not only the management of eco-sensitive areas but also at guaranteeing responsibilities for continuous consultation and for developmental and other activities of local communities. The statistical indicators of "Greek ecotourism" do not justify a requirement to set visitor ceilings in any area. Especially if you take into account the huge funds that have been invested (allegedly for ecotourism development of citizens) in some eco-sensitive areas. Strengthen with some measure and incentives agrotourism that can have multiple benefits for species, habitats and rural society.
    Meaning: ‘Protected area’
    The lists of these areas and the justification for their designation should be uploaded to a state database in Greek. In addition to the positive coordinates, the maps should indicate the boundaries of the areas with their place names, the area (in square kilometres and not in hectares), etc. Please specify whether they will be marked. If so, how many measures will informative signs be displayed and what information will they include? Who will install and maintain them and from which fund will the costs be covered?
    Meaning: ‘Wetlands’
    So far no legal requirement for the protection of small wetlands is widely known. If it results from European legislation, then such areas should be examined by a scientific committee in cooperation with local forest authorities, communicating these proposals to local communities in a timely manner. The state must take into account not only the proposals of environmental organizations but also the public interest (national as well as local communities).

    All wetlands must be mapped. So far, many of them have already suffered enormous damage from bleeds, pollution and contamination. Which service will be responsible for their protection?? when will the rivers and streams of the country be demarcated?...not even in Acheloos do the services know where the limits of the riverbed are..what are the limits of our lakes?

    1. Please replace "invasive" with "invasive" and "invasive". From the way the terms "foreign" and "invasive" are given, it is misunderstood that this is a synonym. The reality is that invasive species differ from alien species in that the velocity of dispersion and, therefore, expansion of their range of distribution is very large compared to other native (and alien) species. This is why invasive species often have a negative impact on local diversity. Unlike mere foreigners, who may acclimatize and behave as members of indigenous diversity.

    Paragraph 1) Articles 9 and 12 of 2742/1999 referred to do not concern biodiversity issues and endemic species, respectively. It's a mistake! Paragraph 2) In (b) after ‘international red lists’ complete ‘according to the most recent IUCN criteria’. 2) Ground (d) ‘…Species with a highly fragmented … distribution’ are not required. It is provided as a criterion in the IUCN guidelines. Add a new paragraph 4 at the end, as follows: ‘If species of Greek wild flora and fauna are traded in violation of the CITES Convention, they will be confiscated and returned to their habitats. In the case of dried plant specimens or embalmed animal specimens, they shall be deposited in the museums of academic institutions and natural history museums on a case-by-case basis. Provision should also be made for the scientific staff of the Management Bodies to contribute to the preparation of action plans for endangered species.

    Article 3. 9. In addition to the release of the work and the sustainability in the upcoming areas, since the regulations of the National Legislative Council have been approved, before the release of the regulations, I decided to characterize the area that is being provided to Article 21, being presented by the Department of the Ministry of Health, the regulation of the regulations, I decided to design these. If you are interested in the study, you can contact me, you can contact me for a photo interview. Article 910-08-alpha-ste If you want to see the end of the year and the development and operation of the National Legislative Council, I would be grateful if you could tell me that the National Legislative Council has been approved by the National Legislative Council, which does not allow the large numbers of Alphas. The relevant year for the development of the area, or the Procedure Act, is a serious issue. The former minister said he had signed it, and he did not say that he was the minister of agricultural development, because of the actions of the National Legislative Council. After the government change, the National Legislative Council signed the contract with the Minister of Agriculture and with the Alfa-P2-0224-185-2010 which was read in the e-PAT and remains the sign of the Ministry of Agriculture. Please, mr. Minister, for the reasons that are related to the area of agricultural development, or something here is in the process of refurbishment. .

    A prerequisite for the adoption of Action Plans for the protection of important plant and animal species is the existence of specific studies. These studies – where they are not carried out by the services of the State – must be carried out in accordance with the procedures for studies and the provision of services to the State. Moreover, their approval must be conditional on the wide disclosure of their information and conclusions, the expression of the opinion of citizens and their representative bodies in the institutionalised bodies of popular participation, and the guarantee of all the conditions and financial resources necessary for their implementation.

    Our region is very important for the creation of many cultivated plant species (eg cereals, cruciferous, etc.), considered a place of origin according to many scientists for these species. The conservation of genetic material created by Greek farmers for centuries must also be ensured. This material carries valuable genes both for the quality of the produced product and for resistance to enemies and diseases. It should also be stressed that this genetic material is adapted to local conditions. An important role should be played by the NATURA 2000 Genetic Material Bank, which should be staffed and financed accordingly.Note: When the Germans occupied Greece during World War II, they brought with them scientists who collected many endemic plant species as well as local varieties and keep this genetic material in their own Genetic Material Banks until today, while we have lost many of them.
