Details

It is possible to search for company names and details, or to browse the register by inputting a space as the search term, up to a limit of 20 results. The limit to the number of results displayed is a severe logistical limitation to using the database. There are also no address details given for the companies retrieved.

A more full company register can be found and searched here: http://www.et.gr/index.php/2013-01-28-14-06-23/search-ae-epe-issue-with-publisher-criteria but it still requires inputting a search term with a minimum of 4 characters to access data. It is possible to view company documentation by clicking on the company name, and download it in PDF form.

Reviewer comments

Same rationale used as with China - companies register can be browsed and does contain company details, though the number of search results makes its usefulness very limited in truth.
