(ANSA) - ATHENS - Greece's government plans to abolish
operating permits for almost 900 jobs and professions,
GreekReporter website writes quoting minister of Development
Kostas Skrekas as announcing on Monday. According to Skrekas,
permits will not be needed anymore for 897 professions, which
account for 14.3% of the Greek GDP. A ministry official said it
will help entrepreneurs start their businesses faster, without

future, businesses will simply have to submit their papers to
the General Commercial Registry (GEMI) and then follow set
guidelines. Skrekas said this would save entrepreneurs two to
three months in filling out paperwork and waiting for replies.

manufacturing, engineering, energy, repair services and
retailers, as well as wholesalers are also included. (ANSA).
