Fines of 150 euros will be paid by anyone who does not comply with the new instructions to employees and consumers, who must now wear a protective mask indoors and outdoors, as announced by the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris.
In fact, as announced from 06:00 on the morning of December 24, the use of the mask is mandatory in both gyms and bars. In particular, one does not use the mask only when consuming food or a drink, while the double mask is required or the enhanced masks (KN95) are now mandatory in supermarkets and on public transport.
How can you object
In case a fine is imposed on you and you consider that it was imposed unfairly, you have the right within five days from the confirmation of the violation and to express your relevant objections exclusively electronically. The electronic submission of objections is made to the relevant address that must be indicated in the form of the Fine Imposition Act.
The objections of the inspected citizen or shopkeeper are submitted to the Head of the Service or Authority to which the body belongs (Police, SEPE, Municipal Police, Coast Guard), in accordance with the provisions of the relevant JMC “Emergency measures to protect public health from danger further spread of COVID-19 coronavirus “.
The decision examining the objections must be fully reasoned with reference to specific facts and figures. If the objection has been made to the services of the Labor Inspection Body (SEPE), a reasoned decision is issued by the Head of the Service on the objections within two working days.
When the objection is made to a fine submitted by the Police, the municipal police or the port, then a three-member committee is formed which examines the objections within two working days and with a reasoned report on the specific incidents and facts, accepts or rejects them.
In case the objections are rejected, the fine is validated.
What if you do not pay the fine?
In case the offender does not pay the fine, then it is sent to the tax office, to the tax office of the offender’s residence and is now treated as a tax threat. In practice, this means that if the offender does not pay the fine, the tax office can make the moves, which it makes for the tax debts, ie seizures or offset with a possible tax refund.
Where and how do we pay the fines
When a fine is imposed, then the data of the offender are obligatorily registered, the A.F.M. and the Police ID / Passport Number, describe the violation found and indicate the amount of the fine imposed.
In case you object and it is rejected, then within 15 days you will have to pay the amount imposed on you, in five ways:
Via electronic payment (e-payment) of the General Secretariat of Information Systems of Public Administration, issued
Directly from the website https://www.gsis.gr/ e-paravolo (Greek Public Agency / Horizontal fees)
From the Citizens’ Service Centers (KEP)
From the Banks
