The Ministry of Finance has released the data of 6.000 profit entities with more than 150,000 euros in overdue debts, posting them on http://link.minfin.gr/ofeilesNP.

All the listed debts exceed 30 billion from the 42 billion owed in total. It will be followed by the publication of overdue debts by individuals after the completion of the ongoing process with the Authority for Personal Data Protection, the acceleration of which has been asked for by the Ministry of Finance.

The information is published in accordance with the public commitment of the government and the application of paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 9 on disclosure of overdue debts to the State, of law 3943/2011 (GG 66 AΆ) based on POL 1185/2011. The publication will significantly help to improve efficiency in revenue collection and confidence between the Ministry and taxpayers by promoting transparency.

The data of these lists was extracted under the provisions of article 2 of POL 1185/2011, with an export date of 5/9/2011, and are about overdue debt installments and surcharges for late payment until 5/9/ 2011.
