Apologies if I was/sounded offensive. I am aware of Italy (and, btw, my own home country) being anything but business friendly. As a matter of fact we see examples of the kind in Greece every single day. Also, almost all matters going to court, both civil and penal, take ages, such that this simply can no longer be called justice.

When replying I referred to the term "normal country"! I simply don't like the idea of not being normal because something is different. I'd say that if one includes all countries in the world, what is normal, is Italy (and Greece), rather than the places where things are simple and fast, which are the minority. See for example most African, Asian, Latin American and many European countries. Unfortunately...
