GREECE/Notes on Preceding Tables

摘要

If not specified otherwise, prices shown refer to the second month of each quarter. As of January 1987, a general value added tax (VAT) was introduced. VAT is not included in prices and taxes shown for industry, electricity generation and automotive diesel for commercial purposes because it is refunded (please see general notes for Part II). Since March 1992, prices of petroleum products have been liberalized. According to the Presidential Decree 76/92-FEK 35A 3.3.92, the Ministry of Trade announces weekly (according to a joint decision of the General Secretaries of the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Industry-Energy-Technology) a ceiling price for end-use consumption for every petroleum product (except for fuel oil, which has been totally liberalised). As of August 1992 the ceiling price was abolished. The Ministry of Economic Affairs determines taxes according to the law 2008/92 FEK 16A, 11.2.92.
