A presidential decree that closes off bays in the Ionian Sea and draws straight baselines on the coast and the Ionian islands up to Cape Tainaro in the Peloponnese has come into force after its publication in the Government Gazette, the foreign ministry announced, according to ANA.
In a press statement on Sunday, the ministry said it was a necessary step in the process of extending Greece’s territorial waters to 12 miles in that region.
