What is being considered is whether the amendments will be made to the existing bill, which establishes special jurisdiction in the District Courts, which will consider financial cases related to the sale. However, the bill will be presented to the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs next Wednesday and it is not ruled out that the changes that are being promoted will be revealed.

State guarantees were also at the center of the discussion. The Ministry of Finance has already sent the draft bill to the parties, from which it expects to receive their proposals. The president of DISY Averof Neophytou stated that the state guarantees must be voted, as they will be the best help to the local businesses. Mr. Neophytou expressed restrained optimism that this tool will soon be given to businesses.
