[01] Government to ban any involvement of politicians in companies based
outside Greece
The government will table an amendment on Wednesday forbidding
politicians from owning stocks or participating in management boards
in any companies not based in Greece, spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili said
on Tuesday, responding to criticism from the opposition on amendments
included in the omnibus bill on prior actions, approved by parliament
last Sunday.
The amendment will explicitly forbid and consider as incompatible
the involvement of ministers, parliamentarians, leaders of political
parties, MEPs, secretaries general, regional governors and mayors, from
participating in the management or the share capital of companies based
outside the country.
"The ban will not concern generally and vaguely the participation
in offshore companies, which was and still is impossible to define
legally. The ban will now be general and universal," Gerovasili said.
She added that the government will request a roll-call vote on the issue.
