In his post, Mr. Moschos Korasidis responds to Non Paper of New Democracy:

“At the end of the spring of 2020 Pieria producer and his brother, whom I had never met, he contacted me and asked me to clarify the process of sending the audit findings to the producers after on -the -spot checks. The lawyer asked the clarifying question, why the producer was in a deadlock for many years and in long -term dispute about this issue with him OPECEPE. As early as 2012 for a 2011 request, which was audited by on -the -spot check, but never was sent to the audit proceedings as it was due. He asked me to inform him what OPECEPE’s obligation was because he could not find an edge.

“I have clarified that the relevant ministerial decision, which governs the audits but especially on -the -spot, explicitly provides that after any audit the report that is drawn up, it must be sent – regardless of the presence of the producer in the control – by registered letter to the producer, in order to be able to submit any disagreements or respectively.

“He asked me to indicate the decision – relevant GG – as I did. He then informed me that despite repeated requests and letters for many years at OPECEPE and meetings with OPECEPE Directors as well as administrations after 2012, this had not been achieved, because OPEKEPE cited other circulars with not so clear content.

“Following this clarification on the content of OPEKEPE’s obligation, he eventually appealed to a prosecutor’s order and in fact in May 2020 and after receiving it, he was forced OPECEPE and sent the report to the producer after 8 years. After the prosecution order and the receipt of the inspection, he informed me that he has now initiated the objectivity process in June 2020 as each producer had any right. But, along with the minutes, the lawyer had also requested other accompanying information from the OPECEPE information archive to have a complete picture of what the Agency’s services had done. But despite the mission of the minutes, the OPECEPE services did not hand over the accompanying documents requested for the complete submission of objections. These supplementary evidence, as the lawyer informed, were not sent to him by OPECEPE because they were prevented that they could not be printed by the information system. (!!). He asked me if I consider this argument serious about an organization with so many information systems and I told him that I consider it a pretext and is not the case.

“After a few days he told me that he would apply to the President of OPEKEPE to request additional information and due to the long -term negative experiences he had in this case, he asked me to see a document that had prepared for the President of the Agency, so that he could assure him that he was requesting that he had been requesting that he had been requesting that he was asking for the documents.

“In the text he sent me, I divorced him by mail that I had nothing to add or remove and describe them correctly. In the copy of the text he made to send it to OPECEPE he obviously copied my mail and sent it to OPECEPE.

»No mail was sent by OPECEPE and President Mr. Varra, and this is evidenced by the correspondence that is obviously existing in OPECEPE. I expressed my opinion and beyond that.

“At this time I was detached to the Vice President of the House, Mr. Odysseas Constantinopoulos who had no report or information on the subject. Therefore, I did not do any action beyond the expression of opinion consulting I was requested on a personal level for the correct content of the relevant Ministerial Decision on OPECEPE’s obligation to send the audit proceeds and to clarify what the information that OPEKEPE was obliged by the legislation are.

“I want to say this to this fact that I have always been fair and next to productive farmers and this remains my goal to date. This I understand is very bothering and annoys those who participated in the OPEKEPE scandal and are trying to turn the lights elsewhere. This case is a process of searching for truth and justice and has no political tone, much more political intervention. It is tool by the ND with an obvious goal to slander me and hurt me but unjust.
My call has already been announced to the examination where I will give it complete information, which seems to have no intervention in the procedures followed by OPEKEPE, where I worked until July 2012. “
