A draft bill simplifying bureaucratic procedures in starting and running businesses was voted in by the largest parties during a Parliament plenary session on Thursday, ANA reports.
Regulations proposed to act as a supplement to Law 4442/2016, reducing bureaucratic hurdles to a simple notification for a series of economic activities that have a low risk in terms of harming public interest, when applying for permission to get approval for setting up economic activity. Some business procedures that are of greater risk in terms of public interest have also been simplified.
Changes reflected in the bill were welcomed by representatives of several trade organizations attending the discussion of the bill when it was still at committee, including the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EVEA), the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen, the Hellenic Confederation of Professionals, Craftsmen & Merchants (GSEVEE), the Federation of Industries of Greece (SVE), and the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), saying they were in the right direction.
