But is a law enforceable if it is backdated in such a way? The specific Greek law was passed on 13th April but came into effect for bookings cancelled from 25th February. I really don't see how it could stand up in the European courts if it ever came to that, which it almost certainly never will, unfortunately.

I actually just found the official Greek government text on this from the parliament website.

Good luck actually navigating that site, but if you Google A'84/13.04.20 you'll find plenty of English interpretations.

And here's the actual text in Greek:

On a positive note, I also found out something I didn't know. The credit vouchers are actually backed by the government, which at least allays the fear that they would become worthless if Aegean doesn't survive.

8. Credit notes issued under the provisions of this Act of Legislative Content from tourism companies offering packages under the Presidential Decree 7/2018 (A’ 12) are protected against the tourism company’s insolvency, as specified in art. 16 of the Presidential Decree 7/2018.
