ATHENS. 25 applications for waterway licences have been submitted to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, 3 of which have now been approved - Corfu, Paxos and Patras. The other 22 are still pending approval.

Ministry representatives stated that the current law for waterway licensing calls for the examination of the application for the establishment and operation of runways on water as well as the carriers and people to whom licences can be granted upon application and following the submission of the necessary supporting documents.
 
Consequently, the examination of the existing applications and of any to be submitted in the future is carried out according to the aforementioned law.  
 
The new legislation for hydroplanes and in specific the legislation ‘Establishment, Operation and Use of Water Runways’ will shortly be submitted to Parliament following the legislation for Transport (‘Regulations for passenger transport issues’).
