Multi-bill in parliament, Friday

The government is proceeding to wrap up all discrepancies and preconditions in order to tender its multi-bill to parliament on Friday. The multi-bill, will be tendered in the House probably on Friday, while the author, finance minister Gikas Hardouvelis, met yesterday morning with the Prime Minister, and will meet today with members of PASOK, and tomorrow with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and government vice president Evangelos Venizelos, in order to overcome any objections and appeals.

For this reason, the Government reportedly is leaving behind the bill on the seashores, and after the reactions caused will be limited to defining the coastline, which is also a memorandum obligation, thus paving the way to pass the multi-bill without turbulence. The Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change Yiannis Maniatis issued, on Wednesday, a written statement on the matter. According to information, the ministry has gone ahead with aerial photography of the country's coastline and will provide six months to tender any objections.

The “withdrawal” of the bill on the coastline declaws the intention of SYRIZA to give scope to the issue, attempting to set up a second front after that the “small” PPC issue.
