Unesco kept waiting

ICOMOS is not the only organisation with misgivings about the new museum. Earlier this month, Unesco's World Heritage Committee reminded OANMA that they are over a year late in furnishing a study on how the visual integrity of the Acropolis might be affected by the 23-metre project.

"If a state undertakes any project within the boundaries of a World Heritage site, it has to inform us prior to starting any construction," Dr Mechtild Rossler, the committee's chief overseer for Europe, told the Athens News. "[Greece is] currently not complying with these operational guidelines."

Rossler said the committee requested a report "to prevent any irreversible damage to the Acropolis" by February 1 this year. "We received only a letter in July, in the middle of a committee session, and we did not get any information on the visual integrity of the Acropolis monument," she said.

"I know nothing about this," said Pantermalis. Greece has now been asked to submit a report by February 1, 2004.
