The coalition government is planning on submitting within the week in Parliament a critical multi-bill regarding the necessary actions that it must take in order to collect a one-billion-euro loan installment.
The bill will cover three prerequisites that the Samaras-Venizelos administration has agreed to that must be ratified by the 7th of July, when the new round of talks with the troika are scheduled to begin. The prerequisites included in the bill include licensing procedures, providing medical care to uninsured citizens and reducing the profit margin of pharmacies and abolishing third party taxes.
The highly controversial “mini DEI” bill, which has caused a bitter row between the government and opposition, will likely be submitted in Parliament in a separate bill, after a final consultation with the troika. Similarly, initiatives to combat money laundering and changing legislation regarding forests will also be submitted in separate bills.
