Debate on draft omnibus bill to be passed by Wednesday night
Debate and passage of the draft omnibus bill tabled by the finance ministry on Tuesday, containing a raft of measures demanded by the country's creditors in exchange for approving a 3rd Greek bailout from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), is to start on Wednesday morning and finish by Wednesday night, Parliament Vice-President Yiannis Balafas said.
Discussion will begin at 10:00 in a joint session of the four relevant Parliamentary Committees using fast-track procedures, which means the entire bill must be processed within 10 hours.
The session is expected to last until 14:00 at the latest before the draft legislation is turned over for discussion before the plenum, leading to a vote on Wednesday night.
