Withdrawal of Appeals

Minoan Group Plc, the AIM listed travel and leisure company, is pleased to announce that the appeals lodged with the Council of State against the decision of the Interministerial Committee for Strategic Investments to include our project in Crete (the "Project") in Fast Track have now been withdrawn. 

The plaintiff's lawyers withdrew the appeals after their request for a postponement of the hearing of the case was rejected by the Plenum of Greece's Supreme Administrative Court, the Council of State.

Christopher Egleton, Chairman of Minoan, commented:

We are delighted by today's outcome and believe that this illustrates the new reality that  exists in Greece. This result reaffirms the Project's Fast Track status.

Work on the various studies necessary for the environmental approval of the Project has continued and these will now be submitted as soon as possible.

The Greek Government has expressed its intention to move forward quickly with strategic investments it considers vital for the country and we look forward to updating the market with further positive news from Greece in the coming weeks and months.
