DNEWS.GR: GREEK LAWS TWICE AS LONG AND FAR LESS TRANSPARENT THAN EU DIRECTIVES

KEFiM analysis reveals Greek legislation averages 60 pages and 54 articles versus 25 pages for EU directives. Only 10% of Greek impact assessments quantify consequences and 71% of 2025 laws contained irrelevant clauses. These problems mirror systemic issues identified in EPICENTER's EU Regulatory Quality Index (EU-RQI), which found EU directives themselves suffer from excessive complexity and poor implementation rates.
