KATHIMERINI: KEFIM RESEARCH UNCOVERS POOR LEGISLATIVE QUALITY IN GREECE, REFERENCING EPICENTER’S EU-RQI

KEFiM – an EPICENTER member think tank – analysed 190 Greek laws and 61 EU directives from 2022–2024, finding Greek legislation far bulkier: average 54 articles over 60 pages versus 49 articles and 25 pages for EU directives. Consultations are rushed at 16 days (EU: 84 days), while only 10% of Greek impact assessments quantify effects (EU: 65%). In 2025, Greece enacted 85 laws totalling 5,217 pages, with 71% including unrelated provisions, exacerbating complexity, implementation issues and transparency gaps.
