The problem occurred with ENFIA, resulted to the Greek Prime Minister’s Mr. Antonis Samaras intervention.

According to information from the Maximou Mansion, “this moment the government works on a problem created by the outrageous valuations of land in a very large part of the region”.

The mandate of the Prime Minister, according to his associates, is to “bring back the the valuation of these values at last year’s levels.”

Responding directly to the prime minister’s intervention, the Minister of Finance Mr. Gikas Hardouvelis, announced that 4,000 settlements outside objective valuation will return to the valuation of these values at last year’s levels.

It is worth noting at this point that the Minister of Finance himself, Mr. Gikas Hardouvelis, a month ago was trying to prevent the worst, when in mid-July (one month after he took office and ten months after enactment of the Law on Unified Property Tax), he hastily filed an amendment in the Parliament, in order to change key provisions and to avoid outrageous taxes of the owners-especially at the periphery.

Evidently, however, the fact that clearing forms of ENFIA were sent amounting from 15,000 to 25,000 was not prevented.

Moreover, some errors were identified and managed to be fixed by Mr. Hardouvelis.

The selection of appropriate solutions is not easy at all, but the ministry has proposed among other things, to correct the Standard Earth Value in locations within the village, taking the lowest price in a residential area in the country.

Any solution that will be chosen, will examine however not to destroy the goal of collecting 3.2 billion by ENFIA.
