“EYDAP has never ceased to be governed in terms of its operation by law 3429/2005 for public enterprises, and law 2744/1999 which regulate water supply and sewerage issues of the capital” stressed the Minister of Finance, Christos Staikouras, responding in a relevant topical question of the MP of MERA 25, Kritonas Arsenis.
The minister clarified that “EYDAP operates as a public limited company, according to the strict institutional framework governing public limited companies, namely those listed on a regulated market, ie on the Stock Exchange under the supervision of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission”. Regarding the decisions of the Council of State, he stated that they “have no reference to the illegal formation of the existing board of EYDAP, or to its illegal decisions, or any reference to any urgent obligation to convene a General Assembly to appoint a new board. “.
He explained that the decision of the Plenary Session of the CoC judged the unconstitutionality of specific provisions of law 4389/2016 and annulled the authorized issuance of specific regulatory decisions of the public administration, citing a specific reasoning. This “has a theoretical legal basis without interfering in the actual operation and management of EYDAP and without noting that, as EYDAP operates, from 2018 until today, ie after the transfer of the majority of its shares from the Greek State to EESYP , the company has deviated from the public benefit purpose it serves “.
Mr. Staikouras noted that “the continuation of the operation of the collective governing body of EYDAP, is imperative, in accordance with the constitutionally guaranteed principle of continuity of public services, in conjunction with the provisions of company law. for which the board of directors of EYDAP has been elected, as long as they have not been challenged within the deadlines provided, they are valid and valid and therefore the election of the board of directors of the company has a legal basis “. We said “we act responsibly and seriously”. The compliance of the public administration with this court decision is an obvious obligation of the Greek State. Relevant actions have been launched in this direction. “The Ministry of Finance, the EESYP and the co-responsible ministries, we are in constant cooperation, seeking in a reasonable time, given the circumstances, the best possible solution to the problems that arise and if necessary can take the form of legislative intervention.”
The MP of MERA 25, Kriton Arsenis, for his part claimed that the government is illegal and does not implement the annulment decision of the CoE for the transfer of EYDAP and EYATH to the Superfund. We have, he said, for so long an administration, which does not represent the legal shareholders. The MP stressed, the shareholding structure of EYDAP-EYATH should have already gone to the central government and the board of directors and the presidency should have been appointed by the central government. He wondered why the decision of the Council of State has not been implemented, as the government “should” have implemented it, and why the return of EYDAP-EYATH to the State has not taken place.
