These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Article 11, paragraph 5 of Law 3471/2006 requires providers of electronic communications services to take appropriate measures, set by a joint act of two authorities, to prevent unsolicited communication. A provider of publicly available electronic communications services that negligently breached that duty, or the duty in the second sentence of paragraph 2, is open to claims by the recipients of unsolicited communication for property damage and for monetary satisfaction for moral harm.
The provider owes no compensation, and need not take measures against repetition, if it proves that it was not negligent.
