The schedule for the auction of the “fillet” and a larger part of BOAK, Chania – Hersonissos with a total budget of 1.5 billion euros is suffocating.
One of the important issues in order for the tender to proceed is to give the green light to its environmental licensing by RIS, with the deadline set to be until June, so that the bidding procedures can start in September with the submission. financial offers from the schemes that have already passed to the second phase, namely:
