Accessibility law in Greece: are you provably compliant?

Greece carries a fine ceiling of €100,000, higher than Germany's (art. 26 of Law 4994/2022), and the law adds suspension of the service, withdrawal and public disclosure of the violation alongside it; for a brand, that naming-and-shaming risk is at least as real as the fine.

  • Law: Law 4994/2022. EAA transposition (supervisory structure revised via Law 5255/2025)
  • In force: Act of November 2022, a few months past the EU deadline; obligations applicable since 28 June 2025.
  • Standard: WCAG 2.1 AA / EN 301 549

Enforcement: what's happening now

Supervision is divided by sector and very much in transition: in November 2025, Law 5255/2025 established a new independent authority for market control and consumer protection, consolidating the fragmented inspection tasks. As of mid-2026 no publicly confirmed EAA fines or published inspection campaigns yet; the statutory toolkit (fines up to €100,000, suspension of the service, withdrawal, public disclosure) stands ready. Sanction criteria under the law: severity and duration of the violation, number of people affected, recidivism and negligence.

On 12 March 2025 the European Commission sent Greece a reasoned opinion (INFR(2022)0297) for failing to fully transpose the European Accessibility Act, giving Greece two months to act before possible referral to the Court of Justice. Enforcement sits with the National Accessibility Authority; Law 4727/2020 provides for inspections and severe financial penalties. The European Commission calls on Greece to fully transpose the EAA.

Why this matters

Accessibility isn't a checkbox for a regulator, it decides whether roughly 1 in 6 people (WHO) can use your site at all. For them, an inaccessible store isn't a minor annoyance but a closed door. Fix the error in your own code and you remove that barrier and make your site cleaner for search engines, the same fix, double the gain.

Know where you stand, before the regulator does.
