Summary
The future of transactions in the European Union is expected to be largely digital, using, in particular, online platforms in an ever-evolving technological environment. In this digital market for goods and services, alternative out-of-court dispute resolution mechanisms, especially Mediation, will become increasingly necessary for a number of important reasons, particularly speed and cost. Moreover, the EU's legislative choices in various areas confirm this. Mediation in Greece, either as a specifically regulated institution (formal) or as an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure (informal), is already applied in a wide range of legal matters.
