[01] Greek FM, Cypriot counterpart have working meeting to discuss
progress in Cyprus talks
Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias and Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis
Kasoulides had a working meeting in Athens on Friday, discussing the
progress in the negotiations on the Cyprus issue, with emphasis on the
issue of security, as well as the repercussions of the failed coup in
Turkey and Greek-Cypriot cooperation in the framework of trilateral
agreements.
In statements after the meeting, Kotzias once again expressed Greece's
support for the talks to find a just solution to the Cyprus issue and
noted that "serious steps have been made." He said that this solution
must be productive and democratically correct, which meant that "the
regime of guarantees must be abolished and the Turkish occupation troops
must withdraw."
Kasoulides said the meeting had been productive and noted the need for
a system that will make all Cypriots feel equally safe, whether they
are Greek Cypriots or Turkish Cypriots. Such a system had no room for
either guarantee conditions nor the presence of Turkish troops, he added.
[02] HRADF relaunches ROSCO privatisation process
Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) on Friday decided to
re-launch the privatisation process for ROSCO – the Hellenic Company
for Rolling Stock Maintenance SA - through a competitive tender process
for the sale of shares corresponding to 100% of the share capital
of ROSCO.
The Fund invites interested parties to submit, either as single legal
entities or as consortia, binding offers for the acquisition of shares
corresponding to 100% of ROSCO's share capital. Investment Bank of
Greece, Kantor Management Consultants, Louis Berger, Hogan Lovells
International LLP and M. & P. Bernitsas Law will act as advisors to
the process.
ROSCO operates as a company providing maintenance, repair and
reconstruction services in respect of rolling stock for railways and
other track-based systems.
ROSCO is currently the sole provider of rolling stock maintenance services
in Greece. ROSCO was established as an independent corporate entity in
2013, via a spin-off of the rolling stock maintenance business unit of
OSE S.A, the manager of the Greek National Railway Infrastructure.
