Liberal Alliance press release 15 May 08
With its recent press release (12.05.08) Liberal Alliance (Greek Liberals) explained how the recent Public Utility Vehicles Driver’s strike in Greece, is against the best interests of Greek Society. Liberal Alliance believes the extortion Greeks face by strong unions is perversely protected by state legislation and the political establishment
Liberal Alliance considers that the lack of free market in transportation services is one of the main reasons for the high cost of living for Greeks, as the cost is not based in the market prices but in political favoritism and extortion which is often accompanied by violence.
For Liberal Alliance this situation is intolerable. Today Liberal Alliance has appealed again to the E.U. Commission, this time requesting the true liberalization of the Public Utility Driver's licensing regime.
Liberal Alliance believes that the Businesses must have the freedom to choose the means that supply their goods.
Liberal Alliance' appeal to European Commission notes that the laws protecting the profession of Public Utility Vehicle Drivers in Greece, infringe on articles 14 and 28 of European Treaty about the freedom of movement for goods but also infringes on article 43 about freedom of establishing business. Liberal Alliance's appeal makes particular reference to the sensitive issue of the laws regulating the storage, transportation and distribution of oil products
Liberal Alliance requests from the European Commission the use of all the legal actions possible for the abolition of protectionist practices at this sector. The liberalization, of the transportation services, will reduce the high cost of living in Greece due to the increase of competition and the reduction in transportation costs.
Liberal Alliance proves that its first concern is the prosperity of the Greek family, and accuses Greek parliamentary parties for populism and hiding the reasons behind the high cost of living.
