Shops will open on Sundays, as new decree announced


   
Thursday, 14 May, 2015
SHOPS will not be shutting up in Sundays, after the Cabinet decided on Wednesday that Labour Minister Zeta Emilianidou would issue a decree within the day allowing shops to remain open until the end of November.

The move comes after Attorney General Costas Clerides had issued an opinion that a law passed by Parliament on May 7 restricting opening times for general shops on Sundays is uncostitutional and will be referred by President Nicos Anastasiades to the Supreme Court.

In statements to the press after the Cabinet`s meeting, Emilianidou referred to a new SME support scheme which will subsidise by 60% of the salary of a newly hired employee so that shops can remain open on Sundays if they wish to do so.
