The Greek Ministry of National Economy & Finance and the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) announced yesterday through a joint press release that Phase 2 of the e-transport mandate will be postponed, with mandatory compliance now beginning May 1, 2026 instead of December 1, 2025.

Businesses will have a five-month optional period from December 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026 to voluntarily submit Phase 2 data to myDATA before the hard deadline takes effect.

Phase 1 requirements remain unchanged, with all businesses not yet in scope required to digitally issue transport documents and submit Phase 1 data starting December 1, 2025.

The announcement also introduces expanded exemptions for specific business categories, such as spare parts networks, minerals & ceramics industries, educational material distribution, and printed media logistics.

The formal ministerial decision implementing these changes has not yet been published.
