ΕΡΩΤΗΣΕΙΣ και ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΕΙΣ για τον ΝΟΚ

 

Τι ακριβώς κρίθηκε με τις αποφάσεις 146-9/2025 της Ολομέλειας του ΣτΕ;

 

Κρίθηκε ότι το σύστημα των διατάξεων του ΝΟΚ με το οποίο θεσπίζονται κίνητρα προσαύξησης των όρων δόμησης (συντελεστή δόμησης, ύψους) για την ανέγερση των κτηρίων, θα μπορούσε να εισαχθεί στον πολεοδομικό σχεδιασμό συγκεκριμένων περιοχών ανάλογα με τα ειδικότερα χαρακτηριστικά τους αλλά δεν μπορεί, κατά το Σύνταγμα, να θεσπιστεί με διάταξη γενικής εφαρμογής, όπως στην προκειμένη περίπτωση, διότι αυτό οδηγεί στην ανατροπή του ισχύοντος πολεοδομικού σχεδιασμού κάθε περιοχής.

 

Είναι η πρώτη φορά που δημοσιεύεται απόφαση του ΣτΕ με τέτοιο περιεχόμενο;

 

Οι σημερινές αποφάσεις αναφέρονται στο ζήτημα της σχέσης των γενικών οικοδομικών κανονισμών και των ειδικότερων όρων δόμησης της κάθε περιοχής. Παρόμοια ζητήματα έχουν τεθεί πολλές φορές κατά το παρελθόν και το Δικαστήριο δεχόταν πάντοτε ότι υπερισχύουν και εφαρμόζονται οι ειδικότεροι όροι δόμησης κάθε περιοχής, εφόσον είναι περιβαλλοντικά ευμενέστεροι. Το ζήτημα αυτό έχει κριθεί και για διατάξεις του ισχύοντος ΝΟΚ με την 705/2020 απόφαση της Ολομέλειας.

 

Γιατί πήρε τόσο καιρό να κριθεί η συνταγματικότητα; Ο ΝΟΚ υπάρχει από το 2012.

 

Κατ’ αρχάς, λόγω της οικονομικής κρίσης υπήρξε καθίζηση στην οικοδομική δραστηριότητα και περιορισμός στην έκδοση οικοδομικών αδειών, με αποτέλεσμα να μην έχουν ανοίξει σχετικές δίκες.     Οι οικοδομικές άδειες που οδήγησαν στις σημερινές αποφάσεις της Ολομέλειας εκδόθηκαν το 2022, δηλαδή 10 χρόνια μετά την έναρξη ισχύος του ΝΟΚ, οι παραπεμπτικές αποφάσεις του Ε΄ τμήματος δημοσιεύθηκαν το 2024, οι υποθέσεις συζητήθηκαν στην Ολομέλεια τον Οκτώβριο του 2024 και το διατακτικό δημοσιεύθηκε δυο μήνες μετά, τον Δεκέμβριο του ιδίου έτους.

 

Εκκρεμούν στο ΣτΕ υποθέσεις για τη συνταγματικότητα άλλων οικοδομικών κινήτρων του ΝΟΚ;

 

Ναι. Εκκρεμούν και άλλες υποθέσεις με οικοδομικές άδειες στις οποίες τίθεται το ζήτημα της αντισυνταγματικότητας άλλων διατάξεων του ΝΟΚ (πχ υπόσκαφα, διεύρυνση υπογείων γκαράζ κλπ).

 

Ποιον δεσμεύουν οι αποφάσεις τις Ολομέλειας;

PRESS RELEASE | JANUARY 24, 2025 FDIC Approves Merger Application for WesBanco Bank, Inc., Wheeling, West Virginia WASHINGTON — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) approved a Bank Merger Act (BMA) application submitted by WesBanco Bank, Inc., Wheeling, West Virginia, to acquire and merge with Premier Bank, Youngstown, Ohio. The resulting bank will operate in West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and will operate under the name, WesBanco Bank, Inc. When reviewing applications pursuant to the requirements of the BMA, the FDIC considers certain statutory factors, including the competitive effects of the transaction, the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the existing and proposed institutions, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, the risk to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system, and the anti-money laundering records of the institutions involved. The FDIC found favorably on those factors as well as additional requirements applicable to the transaction as an interstate merger under section 44 of the Federal Deposit Insurance (FDI) Act.

European Stability Mechanism,update

 

ESM and EIB sign Memorandum of Understanding 24 January 2025 ESM Press Release no. 1/2025 The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) signed today a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Its overall aim is to further strengthen and enhance the bilateral partnership and collaboration between both institutions, and to develop, consolidate, and define their mutual cooperation.  “The Memorandum of Understanding signed today opens a new chapter in our collaborative framework. It builds upon the ongoing partnership since the early days of the EFSF in 2010, when the EIB provided valuable support in setting up our operations. The EIB is a close peer in many respects, and we look forward to deepening our successful cooperation. As fellow Luxembourg-based institutions, we should capitalise on our proximity to work closely together in supporting economic resilience and growth in Europe,” said ESM Managing Director Pierre Gramegna.   “The EIB and the ESM are formidable instruments supporting Europe’s economic security and future prosperity. They enjoy unparalleled status in global capital markets, highlighting the strength of joining forces, and complement the combined firepower of the members of our Union. We are delighted to formalise our longstanding partnership with this Memorandum of Understanding,” said EIB Group President Nadia Calviño. The MoU lists three areas of potential collaboration between the ESM and the EIB: i) strategic and operational dialogue and cooperation - including exchange of information and sharing of knowledge; ii) the organisation of joint events; and iii) staff exchanges. The Memorandum of Understanding enhances the existing collaboration between the ESM (and previously the EFSF) and the EIB, which was initially formalised through a Service Level Agreement in 2010 and further strengthened by a Cooperation Agreement in 2013. The MoU is signed for the initial period of five years, with a possibility for a further extension.
