Draft bill on prior actions passed by Parliament committees, sent to plenum
The draft bill on the prior actions demanded by Greece's creditors was passed with a large majority by MPs in a joint session of four relevant Parliament committees on Wednesday.
It was approved with the support of ruling SYRIZA-ANEL MPs, main opposition New Democracy, Potami and PASOK. It was opposed by Golden Dawn and the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).
The fast-tracked legislation, which will now go before the plenum for debate and be voted on around midnight, includes changes to the Code for Civil Procedure and transposition of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) into national law.
The two measures are among prior actions demanded by Eurozone leaders in the July 12 summit agreement in order to begin negotiations on a third bailout for Greece.
