Valid operating licence

Comply with the predictions of the operating licence and the prerequisites of the legal framework

The operating licence shall have the same duration as the concession licence. The issuance of the aforementioned operating licences is integrally linked to the use of premises, and consequently with the concession of space by the relevant port administration and operating authorities. Therefore, applications for the issuance of the licence must contain a request for the allocation of space, the examination of which chronologically precedes subsequent considerations, since the licence cannot be issued unless the concession of the site is approved.

The issuance of the operating licence shall not replace any other approvals and shall not exempt the holder of the licence from the obligation to hold licences or to comply with administrative acts provided for by other provisions relating to equipment used at the service station or parts thereof.

In order to obtain a licence to establish and operate service stations selling liquid fuel or mixed or pure liquefied gas (LPG) for public use, natural persons or members of companies are required to be either Greek nationals or citizens of Member States of the European Union or of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Remarks

# Amendment of Operating Licence: When, after the issuance of an operating licence, changes to certain details of the establishment of a ‘port service station’ are required, or an extension is made with facilities provided for under the provisions of Joint Ministerial Decision No 33180/351/23-4-2021 (Government Gazette Series II No 1454/2019). Refer to Steps 7, 8, 9 and 10 which refer to the procedure for the issue or amendment of a licence to operate a service station within a port zone or in tourist ports. # If there is evidence that further operation of a ‘port service station’ is not possible, the licensing authority may temporarily or definitively prohibit the continued operation of the ‘port service station’ by means of a special reasoned decision. # The licence to operate a ‘port service station’ may be temporarily withdrawn until the deficiencies are remedied, if it is found that the conditions under which it was granted cease to exist, or it may be definitively withdrawn under a fully reasoned decision issued by the authority which granted it in the first instance. # The issuance or withdrawal of the operating licence for the ‘port service station’ shall be duly notified to the applicant, the competent department of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the local Port Authority, the local Police Department, the relevant Fire Department, the local Tax Office, the relevant Regional Directorate of Development and the competent department responsible for keeping the Independent Authority for Public Revenue system register of inflows and outflows hosted by the General Secretariat for Information Systems. The aforementioned Administrative Acts shall be published in accordance with the provisions of Law 3861/2010 (Government Gazette Series I No 112). # Before the expiry of any certificate, the licensee is required to submit a new valid document in order to continue operating to the competent department of the authority. In this case, a new operating licence will not be issued, and the service station file record will be updated with the new supporting document. The monitoring by the licensing authority is limited exclusively to the new supporting document submitted. If it is found that a ‘port service station’ is operating without any valid certificates submitted as supporting documents, the operating licence shall be withdrawn and the service station premises will be sealed.
