Greece’s bar associations have appealed to the European Commission to initiate proceedings against the Greek government over pension reforms that they say, coupled with the existing tax burden, have had a binding effect on freelancers’ incomes.
The associations also argue that a discount in contributions made by new colleagues and on people entering the profession for their first four years of active practice is only a temporary solution to the problem.
