What exactly is ανεύρεση?

Ανεύρεση is a formal noun meaning finding, discovery, or recovery.

It comes from the verb ανευρίσκω / ευρίσκω (to find), and it is more formal than everyday εύρεση in some contexts.

In this sentence, ανεύρεση is the thing being reported or declared.

So:

• Δηλώνεται ανεύρεση = A finding/recovery is reported or The finding is declared

This is fairly official-sounding Greek.
