The data is recorded for animals belonging to citizens by veterinarians and for what municipalities and animal associations are managed by authorized municipal officials and representatives of the associations respectively.

The platform operates on email address pet.gov.gr.

Note that the Ministry of the Interior has allocated more than more than 2019 municipalities than today EUR 125 million for the management of pets.

Specifically, in the two years 2019-2020, the first degree OTAs had 43 million euros for the construction, repair, maintenance and shelter equipment. In 2021, the competent Ministry issued a new invitation of a total of € 40 million for equipment for the implementation of operational programs and another EUR 3 million for vaccines, medicines and to deal with poisoning. In November 2023, another invitation called on municipalities to submit proposals to obtain funding totaling € 15 million for stray marking and sterilization costs.

The issue, however, is the degree of absorption of resources, as many municipalities are unable to compile the studies needed to receive such funding. “From the latest invitation of 15m euros, it is a question of whether the € 8m were allocated,” said a Special Secretariat for the protection of pets’ pets at the Interior Ministry.

For stray management, municipalities receive an additional grant through their regular annual funding (central independent resources) that reached a total of EUR 1.5 million in 2022 and increased to EUR 5 million per year in the coming years.

Since the commencement of the operation of the EMZS (December 2023) the amount of funding of the municipalities has ceased to be determined on the basis of their extent and population and since then the funds have been available according to their “performance” in specific areas (number of sterilizations, vaccinations, marks, etc.).

In the meantime, the Environmental Association of Athens Municipalities (PESYDAP) and the East Thessaloniki (SYPPAZAT) Animal Protection and Environment Association are organizing on March 21, in Athens, the 1st Panhellenic Labor Meeting The purpose of the meeting is to express and record the problems that municipalities face in this area and to submit proposals to Law 4830/2021 concerning the responsibilities of municipalities in relation to stray animals.
