v In order for the licensing process to begin immediately, the following supporting documents must be submitted together.

B. In order for the Health Service to issue a food sales license for kiosks, the following supporting documents are required:
• Application (describing in detail the types of food the applicant wishes to sell)
• Photocopy of the kiosk license
• Photocopy of the lease permit (Municipal Decision)
• Photocopy of the local authority permit for the location of the kiosk and occupation of the surrounding area
• Fee of €88 payable to the Region at the Bank.
• Floor plan showing the outline of the kiosk (hut) and any outdoor areas (to scale). The plan shall show the location and layout of food counters and refrigerators. In the case of complex outdoor structures, a sectional plan shall also be submitted to show the layout of any structures.
• Simple flow chart (receipt – inspection – placement – exposure).
In the event that the municipalities decide and grant permission to use outdoor areas around the main kiosk for the display of food and other items with additional structures beyond the main kiosk awning (e.g., extensions with additional tents or other types of shelters, screens, partitions, etc.) to protect refrigerators or shelves that will be installed outside, beyond the issues that are the main responsibility of each municipality (e.g., requirements for modern design, uniformity, functionality, public safety, aesthetics, etc.), the competent Urban Planning Department of your municipality should clarify whether or not urban planning permits are required. If urban planning permits are required, they must be obtained prior to the Health Service permit for the sale of food.
In any case where there are extensions to the kiosk, they must be submitted to the Health Service together with the other supporting documents and the corresponding documents from the Urban Planning Service (i.e., a copy of the permit or a certificate of non-requirement of permits) as well as floor plans and cross-sections of any additional structures to the main kiosk.
These drawings shall accompany the Health Service permit for the sale of food in kiosks, so that any arbitrariness and excesses can be checked.
The Department of Health Regulations of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, to which this document is addressed, is requested to inform us of its opinion on the above.
