WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1129/98 by Konstantinos HATZIDAKIS to the Commission. Greek customs authorities impeding transit of goods in Greek ports
Official Journal C 354 , 19/11/1998 P. 0067
WRITTEN QUESTION E-1129/98 by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE) to the Commission (8 April 1998) Subject: Greek customs authorities impeding transit of goods in Greek ports According to my information, the Greek customs authorities are unlawfully refusing to allow shipping companies operating regular services between Community ports to effect customs clearance on goods being loaded or unloaded in the Greek ports of Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Heraklion under the simplified procedure for Community transit pursuant to Article 448 of the European Union Customs Code (Regulation EC 2454/93) ((OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1. )). On the pretext that the docks in the three ports are 100% 'free zones', the customs authorities are compelling shippers and consignees of goods passing through the above three ports to comply with the 15 customs procedures applying in Greece to so-called 'free zones', which entails greater costs and loss of time. Is the Commission aware of this situation and, if so, what measures will it take to put an end to this absurd practice which is obviously serving sectional interests? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (4 June 1998) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question E-762/98 by Mr Jarzembowski ((OJ C 323, 21.10.1998, p. 68. )).
