Registry

The caretaker government will replace the CEO of the Registry Agency Gabriela Kozareva. This was announced personally by Prime Minister Stefan Yanev in the cabinet's report on what has been done since he took over the government of the country.

As of Monday, the Hellenic Land Registry website www.ktimanet.gr is to start posting cadastral data for the Municipality of Athens. Authorities are calling on more than half a million citizens who have declared ownership of properties within the municipality to check the accuracy of the data recorded ahead of its finalization.

Cadastral data for the Municipality of Athens will start being posted online as of June 1 on the Hellenic Land Registry website.

Greece's long-delayed transition from the old system to the new land registry will be be completed in three years, Environment and Energy Minister Kostis Hatzidakis said on Wednesday.

By the end of the year, the Registry Agency will perform step-by-step actions to optimise the hardware and software of its information systems, as well as introduce new functionalities. Part of them are commitments on the the Property Register under the Operational Program "Good Governance".

The Registry Agency has announced that it already provides a new service - automated notification from Property Register to a user-specified e-mail address. The service provides the opportunity to receive notifications of entries, notes and deletions in the entry books, denials, and the enacted definitions.

The situation at the new land registry offices in the inner Athens suburb of Galatsi in recent days is an absolute shame. It is a shambles and once again demonstrates that the Greek state has no respect whatsoever for its citizens and zero interest in dealing with their problems. 

People fill in documents to register their assets at the new land registry offices in the northern Athens suburb of Galatsi, Friday. Officials hope that the new center, originally built to host gymnastics events during the 2004 Olympics, will help speed up the process to compile a nationwide database by 2021. [Reuters]

Sofia. As of today, the users of the commercial register and the register of non-profit organisations can check the current status of the entities, according to the Registry Agency's website. The agency is still working to restore the access to the other functionalities of the register and does not expect full recovery earlier than next week.

For a fourth consecutive day, the trade registry of the Registry Agency is inaccessible due to a system crash, and the business fears data theft. It was not until last night that the Ministry of Justice, the DANS, and the prosecution broke down and launched an emergency plan of action that included a gradual recovery from Wednesday.
