Open-air markets fruit and vegetables producers are determined to appeal even to the Council of State if the parliament on Monday passes the bill that concerns their sector, the head of Central and Western Macedonia, Thessaly and Thrace federation of open-air markets associations Vassilis Makridis told ANA-MPA.

Open-air market producers continue their strike and will continue their labour action in case the bill is voted for, Makridis said.

Producers say that their aim is not to cause a disruption in the market to the detriment of consumers. But, as they claim, the bill will not “be in favor of consumers” and will not result in lower prices, since the toll fees and taxation have been increased.

Moreover, they have called the government to withdraw it and start negotiations from scratch.
