Text of AVAAZ Petition:

"With this petition we ask the members of the Greek Government, to vote again and VOTE AGAINST the selling of the Greek protected ecosystems, for constructing massive hotels. We want ALL members of the Greek parliament to raise the subject and this time, vote to EXCLUDE the 2 areas from the signed memorandum. Erimitis’ area, is one of the very few completely virgin areas left on the island, with 100% no constructions. It is protected by all the Greek and International laws “about the conservation of the small islands’ sensitive ecosystems” Therefore, the use of this land cannot change and that is essential for the sustainability of the development of the island as a whole. Korission sea lake is also one of the most important for its biodiversity areas of Greece, protected by all of the "Natura 2000 network" laws and can only remain as is. We will appreciate your initiations at the house of parliament to change the memorandum terms so that Erimitis and Melitieon GET EXCLUDED".
