PM on opening of closed professions

PM on opening of closed professions
Prime Minister George Papandreou said on Thursday the opening of closed professions was not an issue of the Memorandum signed between Greece and European Commission, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) but that his government "considers it as a help to young people, as a move that opens the market and the possibilities for better and cheaper services." "It essentially opens the possibilities for growth," the premier also said while addressing a cabinet meeting that focused on the opening of closed professions. Papandreou asked from Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou to go ahead with the shaping of a general framework of principles regarding the issue.

The prime minister also said that the measures his government has taken aimed at "handling the situation it inherited," adding: "We now continue our work, a work of permanent changes and overturnings."

Papandreou noted that his governmemnt has "managed, despite difficulties and with the Greek people's sacrifices to save the country, by achieving what many, inside and outside Greece, considered unfeasible."

"Greece begins to change," he said. ANA-MPA

The issue of closed professions has come under scrutiny lately, with the Truckers and Lawyers who have been striking as a protest against the opening of their professions.
