The dialogue on the issue of increases at the end of the Limassol port has started, however those involved who attended today the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, Trade, Industry and Tourism, stated that they have not yet concluded and that they need an additional fifteen days.
The Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, DISY MP Kyriakos Hatzigiannis, appealed to the stakeholders to reach a solution soon so as not to impose increases at the end of Limassol Port that will have a measurable contribution to inflation and will affect purchasing power.
He said that the Commission is at their disposal to help in order not to impose these increases that will be passed on to consumers.
AKEL MP Costas Costa stated that the Auditor General's report on the privatization of the commercial activities of the Limassol Port dated 5/4/17 is a catapult with data and details about the scandalous procedures followed until the signing of the contracts.
He said that he considers unacceptable the fact that the Parliament, for four years now, has been waiting for the Attorney General to examine the report of the Auditor General to see if there are criminal or other responsibilities, as requested by the Audit Committee in May 2018. He added that AKEL expects to see the response of the Attorney General to the relevant letter sent to him by the Secretary General of AKEL Stefanos Stefanou 15 days ago.
He reiterated that what happened with the sale of the port of Limassol is a huge scandal for which the responsibilities of the Government are very heavy.
