1. Community goods arriving in Greece by sea are required to go through free ports, which deprives them of the benefit of the presumption that they are Community goods. 2. Land consignments of such goods under the T2 internal Community transit procedure or under cover of the TIR carnet are subjected to frontier formalities and checks which are incompatible with the single market. 3. Lorries unloaded from ships which have made a journey within the Community have to present a consignment note for the goods carried. Otherwise the customs authorities draw up a document which has all the characteristics of a customs declaration; this measure is contrary to the transitional VAT arrangements and the harmonized excise duty regime. 4. New Community vehicles int ...[+++]ended for purchasers in Greece must be specifically declared: this is contrary to the Sixth VAT Directive. 5.
