According to your Ministry’s announcements, the creation of a Collective Alternative Management System for the organic waste of hotels is planned, with the resources of the liable companies themselves.
This is a regulation on which, to date, at least as far as we know, there has not been any consultation with the hotel industry, despite the fact that it concerns us directly.
In view of the above, please bring the proposed draft law to our attention in due time and give us the necessary time to submit our comments and proposals on it.
We note that effective consultation and consideration of the proposals of the representatives of the individual sectors of the economy on issues that concern them contributes to the adoption of the best solutions and to the prevention of problems that may arise in relation to the proposed regulations, which may render them practically unworkable.
We remain at your disposal for any clarification.
Yannis Hatzis Angelos Kallias
Chairman of the Board of Directors Secretary General’.
