The justice ministry's leadership and bar association representatives from around the country on Monday reportedly failed to come to terms regarding the government's plan to liberalise the exercise of the legal profession in the country, part of the so-called opening up of "closed professions" requested by the EU-ECB-IMF "troika".
Monday's meeting was held at the justice ministry and a new one will follow on Thursday at the finance ministry with lawyers' representatives and with Justice Minister Haris Kastanidis as well.
The country's Bar Association plenum will conveve in Athens ahead of next week's expected tabling of the draft bill envisioning a partial deregulation of the legal profession in Greece.
