    EUROMIL is concerned about article 69 which modifies article 5 of Law 3883/2010, regarding regular and extraordinary transfers. This change affects large families, single parents, and individuals with disabilities in the Greek armed forces community. One significant impact of this amendment is the removal of non-transfer benefits for families with three or more children, single parents, and those caring for disabled spouses or children. Additionally, imposing a maximum six-year stay in a unit further disrupts the stability of these families. Moreover, in both Greece and across Europe, the demographic landscape is undergoing significant shifts, making the impact of this amendment even more profound. As demographic trends indicate a shrinking population and aging society, the number of military personnel and their families affected by these changes is likely to be magnified. EUROMIL emphasizes the urgent need to consider these demographic realities when crafting policies that affect military personnel and their families. Furthermore, individuals with health problems or disabilities face heightened difficulties due to this amendment. EUROMIL also questions why this change occurred without prior consultation with military representatives. In essence, EUROMIL opposes the amendment introduced by article 69 to protect the welfare of military families and ensure fairness and inclusivity in legislative changes affecting them. Lastly, we anticipate the resolution of the persistent issue concerning the professional soldiers (ΕΠ.ΟΠ). If this matter is not addressed promptly, it may result in the exit of thousands of personnel from the Armed Forces without pension entitlements.
