Greece: unlicensed buildings on beaches

Bill protecting unlicensed buildings on beaches revised, eKathimerini

"The bill that was presented to lawmakers by Deputy Finance Minister Katerina Papanatsiou on Monday contains a number of changes, most significant of which is the cancellation of a clause giving the owners of illegal buildings on beaches the right to protection from demolition. The alterations were made following the recommendations of Parliament’s Scientific Service, which found that the controversial clause violated constitutional laws for the protection of the environment".
