Greek government is moving toward a lifting of current restrictions that prevent the foundation of new industrial and manufacturing plants in Attica, where it hopes to increase the number of industrial and business parks that offer businesses greater privileges and facilities, according to ANA. The measures are included in the draft omnibus bill for development law and hope to "corral" existing industrial concerns - mostly based in western Attica but also in Mesogia and Eleonas - into organized industrial zones that provide more favorable licensing, expansion and financing conditions. According to sources, this targets some 70 informal "conglomerations" of industrial and manufacturing concerns that employ thousands of workers and are engaged in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, packaging, plastics, glass-making, and other manufacturing sectors. The draft omnibus bill also includes statutes written by the environment and energy ministry that remove current restrictions and allow the founding of facilities for "medium-impact" industrial activity in Attica, provided they are established within an organized industrial zone or business park.
