Three meters to be promoted by the government to be voted onin view of the emergency conditions, announced in advance Minister of Development and Investment, Adonis Georgiadisfrom the floor of Parliament.
It’s time to protect the consumer from profiteering phenomenasaid Mr. Georgiadis and announced that a provision for business disclosure for scandal. The minister said that the government is proposing the provision, without prejudice to any legal issues that may arise, and therefore asked for the support of the parties “So that there is an additional argument in support of this provision in the courtroom.”
“I want to be honest with both the companies and the judges who will be called to judge the order. We believe that the emergency conditions of the war do not allow us to act in a firefighting manner but we must act precautionarily. We will bring an order, according to the standards of the order due to covid, so that the General Secretariat for Consumer Affairs can publish the names of the companies to which fines are imposed for reasons of scandal. There will always be a reservation of any court decision of this administrative act by the court. But right now, for me in wartime, filthy profiteering is blackness. “We are in a time when no one can make more profit, taking advantage of the fact that there is global inflation and that there is a lot of imported accuracy and to step on it to earn more money”, noted Mr. Georgiadis and added that already the controls have intensified and are yielding. “It is the will of the Prime Minister, the government and me personally that we will not use any tools to help our fellow citizens, to overcome the great challenge of the illegal invasion of Ukraine and if we need to take even stricter measures in the future, we will be here to do it “, he stressed.
The minister announced that a provision would be introduced 3% ceiling on professional lease increases from 1-1-2022 until the end of the year, so that companies can cope with the pressures they receive from the “mainly imported inflation”. “Although as a politician I am a liberal and I believe in market regulation, there are extraordinary circumstances that force us to take extraordinary measures. “We will introduce a special provision that will set a ceiling on the increase of rents for professional leases, for the whole of 2022, from 1-1-2022 to 3%”, he pointed out.
Finally, the ministry suggests a provision by which the term of office of the administrations of the Chambers is extended for another year, ie until the end of 2023. “We will vote accepting the request of the Central Union of Chambers and EVEA, the extension of the term of the administrations for another year. “In other words, the elections in the chambers will not take place at the end of 2022 but at the end of 2023. The Union told us that the conditions created by the market war are not suitable to start campaigns and disputes between them”, he underlined Mr. Georgiadis.
