Since publishing NASA Earth Observatory Goes to the Beach in July 2017, we have explored even more of the planet’s coasts via satellite images and astronaut photographs. During this first week of July, the Earth Observatory is returning to the beach with a look back at some of our favorite seaside stories published in recent years.   NASA Returns to the Beach: Eighty Mile Beach This stretch of coastline in Western Australia is a popular recreational site for people and an important stopover site for migratory birds.       NASA Returns to the Beach: Bright Beaches in Florida The white sands of Florida's Emerald Coast beaches are primarily comprised of quartz grains from the southern Appalachian Mountains.       NASA Returns to the Beach: Taking Stock of Sandy Beaches Sandy beaches are growing in some parts of the world and shrinking quickly in others, including one-third of marine protected areas.       A River Runs Through Fayzabad Flanked by mountains, the capital of the Badakhshan Province in Afghanistan lies along a sharp bend in a valley sculpted by the Kokcha River.       Home Reef Volcano Grows Plumes of volcanic material traveled by air and by sea as the small Pacific island erupted in June 2024.       In the Grip of Global Heat Heat waves rolled through parts of Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, leaving vulnerable populations at risk.       Stately Mount Siple A striking plume trailing from the topographic prominence in West Antarctica is likely an orographic cloud.

KΩΣΤΗΣ ΧΑΤΖΗΔΑΚΗΣ,ΥΠΟΥΡΓΟΣ ΤΩΝ ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΚΩΝ: Καταργείται το Τέλος Χαρτοσήμου σε περισσότερες από 600 συναλλαγές

Καταργείται το Τέλος Χαρτοσήμου σε περισσότερες από 600 συναλλαγές

3 Ιουλίου, 2024


Κ. Χατζηδάκης: «Μια μεταρρύθμιση της καθημερινότητας που απλοποιεί εκατοντάδες χιλιάδες συναλλαγές και μειώνει το κόστος τους»

Από το Γραφείο Τύπου του Υπουργείου Εθνικής Οικονομίας και Οικονομικών εκδόθηκε η ακόλουθη ανακοίνωση:

Την κατάργηση του Τέλους Χαρτοσήμου για πάνω από 600 συναλλαγές και την αντικατάσταση του από το Ψηφιακό Τέλος Συναλλαγής για όσες συναλλαγές θα συνεχίσει να υφίσταται, προβλέπει η νομοθετική πρωτοβουλία του Υπουργείου Εθνικής Οικονομίας και Οικονομικών. Η μεταρρύθμιση αυτή αφορά στον εκσυγχρονισμό και στην απλούστευση ενός νομοθετικού πλαισίου που ισχύει εν πολλοίς από το 1931, στην πλήρη ψηφιοποίηση του και στην κατάργηση του – όπου απαιτείται-, ενώ αποτελεί δέσμευση της χώρας και ορόσημο στο Σχέδιο Ανάκαμψης και Ανθεκτικότητας. Αντιμετωπίζονται, επίσης, χρόνια ζητήματα ασαφειών.

Πιο αναλυτικά, με το σχέδιο νόμου που αναμένεται να τεθεί άμεσα σε δημόσια διαβούλευση προωθούνται επτά αλλαγές:καταργείται το Τέλος Χαρτοσήμου και αντικαθίσταται με το Ψηφιακό Τέλος Συναλλαγής,
καταργούνται οριστικά περισσότερες από 600 περιπτώσεις επιβολής του Τέλους Χαρτοσήμου,
Αναφέρονται ρητά οι συναλλαγές στις οποίες θα επιβάλλεται το Ψηφιακό Τέλος Συναλλαγής, η δήλωση, ο υπολογισμός, η βεβαίωση και η είσπραξη του οποίου θα γίνεται εξ ολοκλήρου ψηφιακά μέσω ειδικής πλατφόρμας της ΑΑΔΕ,

● European Council   02/07/2024 19:22 | Press release | President Michel welcomed President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović to Brussels   President Michel welcomed President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović to Brussels today. The meeting followed the postponement of President Michel’s visit to Montenegro due to the recent political developments in the country. After a landmark Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) and positive Interim Benchmark Assessment Reports (IBARs) for chapters 23 and 24 last week, it is important to stay on the EU track across all aspects, united on the EU reform agenda. The EU counts on Montenegro to keep the positive reform momentum and deliver on the EU strategic path, not only in words, but also acts by all political actors. And in line with the country’s goal to join the EU as the next member state. There is a fresh momentum in the EU enlargement process and Montenegro as a frontrunner in the accession process has a real opportunity to advance. This should not be wasted or taken for granted. Good neighbourly relations remain an essential element of the accession process and should not be jeopardised. President Michel appreciated President Milatović’s commitment in this regard.

Foreword

Dear readers, Exciting times for the ocean world: this month we unveiled a prototype of the European Digital Twin Ocean! This digital ocean replica will make ocean knowledge available to all, empowering scientists and policymakers to make informed decisions backed by science to protect our ocean.   In other news, the Nature Restoration Law has been adopted by the Council, setting binding targets to restore ecosystems, habitats and species.   On the fisheries front, we launched a consultation to assess the effectiveness of the common fisheries policy (CFP). This consultation is the first part of a thorough evaluation that will look at how the CFP has achieved its objectives since 2013, its economic implications, and its relevance in the context of emerging needs.   This week, we are also organising - in and with the Republic of Kenya - BlueInvest Africa 2024! It brings together African entrepreneurs seeking financing and international investors scouting for opportunities, to propel Africa's blue economy forward.  Finally, I wish you all a very happy summer - and don’t forget to participate in the #EUBeachCleanup campaign, to help us raise awareness of marine litter and clean our ocean!  Warm regards,  Charlina Vitcheva, Director-General  Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries @vitcheva_eu
