For the risk of "Grexit of Greek products and services from the European accreditation system", due to the non-"independence" of the National Accreditation System (ESYD) they spoke again, with the joint intervention of HellasCert, HellasLab and SEV. This is a major issue, which if not resolved by 27 April, then there is an immediate risk of a "blackout" in exports, as the products and services will not carry a certificate of international recognition. Yesterday, in any case, officials of the Ministry of Economy and Development assured that the framework for the separation of the ESYD from the National Quality Infrastructure System has already been established (ESYP). It is worth noting that there was a similar assurance at the beginning of last February, however, the necessary legislation has not yet been tabled.
