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).

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station’ by means of a special reasoned decision. 3.The licence to operate a ‘port service station’ may be temporarily withdrawn until the deficiencies are remedied, if it is found that the conditions under which it was granted cease to exist, or it may be definitively withdrawn under a fully reasoned decision issued by the authority which granted it in the first instance. 4. 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.
