For the purposes of the present Decree, “existing water use rights” are intended all existing uses of surface and underground waters, as they are defined in Annex I to this Decree, provided that a) such rights pre-existed before the 20th of December 2005 (before the publication in the Official Gazette of Ministerial Joint Decree No. 43504/2005), b) either a permit for water use does not exist at all or c) the existing authorization is not in force or on the permit is not reported the time of duration of such authorization. Those who wish to obtain or establish a right of use on water, according to article 1 to this Decree, are compelled to apply for the issuance of a water use permit for existing water use rights according to the procedures, terms and conditions prescribed by this Decree within twelve months from the entry into force of this Decree, and specifically for water wells drilled for irrigation purposes, within six months.
