Greece-specific requirements
Greece has been developing its digital governance capacity rapidly through the Ministry of Digital Governance, which oversees the country's digital transformation strategy. The transposition of the EAA aligns with Greece's broader push toward digitalisation through the National Digital Strategy. Greece's significant tourism industry means that accessibility of digital booking, transport, and hospitality services is particularly relevant. The General Secretariat of Commerce and Consumer Protection brings experience in market surveillance, though accessibility-specific enforcement infrastructure is still maturing compared to longer-established programmes in northern European member states.
