Following a consultation between the Minister of Justice and Public Order, Mrs.Stephis Drakos and the Chief of Police, it was decided that the House of Representatives should be informed immediately about the removal of a specific provision that requires female candidates to present a medical certificate from a gynecologist that they do not have a gynecological problem, in addition to the general obligation for all candidates, irrespective of their sex, to produce a medical certificate attesting that they are in a good state of health to carry out their duties.
An amendment on this point will be tabled in Parliament next Monday.
It is recalled that the bill is currently before the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs for an article-by-article examination, discussion and exchange of views, with a view to its final formulation.
