This was the case with the approval of the Culture and Information Committee on the media and press organizations bill, which has not been subject to a community debate so far.

On the other hand, the Parliament's qualitative committees discussed the draft consumer protection law, in addition to completing the consideration of the observations of the community dialogue on the draft law on the rights of persons with disabilities, which was subject to an extensive community debate in October 2016, which may result in green olives, and the parliament tree did not bear fruit.
