The Decentralized Administration of the Aegean (Шаблон:Lang-el) is one of the seven decentralized administrations of Greece, consisting of the regions of North Aegean and South Aegean. Seated in Piraeus, Athens, it is currently led by Acting Secretary-General Nikos Theodoridis.

Formation and tasks

Шаблон:Main Decentralized Administrations were created in January 2011 as part of a far-reaching reform of the country's administrative structure, the Kallikratis reform (Law 3852/2010).Шаблон:Sfn

They enjoy both administrative and financial autonomy[1] and exercise devolved state powers in urban planning, environmental and energy policy, forestry, migration and citizenship.Шаблон:Sfn Beyond that, they are tasked with supervising the first and second-level self-governing bodies: the municipalities and regions, in this case the 43 municipalities of the Aegean and the two regions themselves.

Characteristics

The Decentralized Administration of the Aegean is seated outside its own territory in Piraeus, Athens. It is however the most decentralized administration with organizational structures all over the Aegean Islands.[2]

Covering a landmass of Шаблон:Convert,[1] the Aegean is one of the smallest of the seven decentralized administrations by area, and with an overall population of 508 246[3] also the least populous.

In the European NUTS nomenclature, the two regions of the Aegean together with Crete form the first level NUTS region EL4 (Nisia Aigaiou, Kriti).

Secretary-General

The Decentralized Administration is led by a secretary-general (Шаблон:Lang) who is appointed or dismissed by a Cabinet decision upon request of the Greek Minister of Interior,[2] and is therefore considered the senior representative of the national government in the regions.

Following the electoral victory of Syriza in January 2015, the new minister for the interior, Nikos Voutsis, declared that the decentralized administrations would be abolished, and their powers transferred to the regions. Until this reform is formalized, and as the secretaries-general appointed by the previous administration resigned on 2 February, the decentralized administrations are run by their senior civil servants as acting secretaries-general.[4][5] The current acting secretary-general is Nikos Theodoridis.
