Κρίσιμη συνάντηση για το λιμάνι
Τελευταία ενημέρωση: Σάββατο, 17 Οκτωβρίου 2009, 14:01
Κορυφώνονται οι διαβουλεύσεις για την απεργία των λιμενεργατών, με την υπουργό Οικονομίας, Ανταγωνιστικότητας και Ναυτιλίας, Λούκα Κατσέλη να συναντά στις 15:00 το μεσημέρι εκπροσώπους της Ομοσπονδίας Υπαλλήλων Ελλάδας (ΟΜΥΛΕ) και της Ένωσης Λιμενεργατών.
Πρόκειται για συνάντηση που «έκλεισε» την τελευταία στιγμή, σε μια προσπάθεια να εξευρεθεί λύση και να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση, που έχει "παραλύσει" το λιμάνι του Πειραιά.
Σύμφωνα πάντως με πληροφορίες, η κινέζικη εταιρεία ανταποκρίνεται θετικά στο αίτημα για επαναδιαπραγμάτευση των όρων της σύμβασης, ώστε να διασφαλιστούν οι θέσεις εργασίας των λιμενεργατών. Φαίνεται, επίσης, ότι αποδέχεται τον καταμερισμό εργασίας στις προβλήτες 1 και 2 του Πειραιά, που αποτελεί και το βασικό αίτημα των λιμενεργατών.
Η προσπάθεια πάντως της κυβέρνησης, αναμένεται να κατευθυνθεί προς δύο στόχους: αφενός να πείσει την κινέζικη πλευρά ότι δεν απειλείται η συμφωνία και αφετέρου να πείσει τους απεργούς ότι καταβάλλονται όλες οι αναγκαίες προσπάθειες, ούτως ώστε να μην απειληθούν εργασιακά δικαιώματα και θέσεις εργασίας.

ANNOUNCEMENT
IN RELATION TO STRIKE ACTION AT PIRAEUS PORT IN GREECE
This announcement is made by the Company on a voluntary basis.
Pursuant to the Concession Agreement signed between COSCO Pacific Limited (“COSCO
Pacific” or the “Company”), Piraeus Container Terminal S.A. (“PCT”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (“PPA”) in relation to Piers 2 and
3 of Piraeus Port on 25th November 2008 (the “Concession Agreement”), PCT has fulfilled
all its obligations under the Concession Agreement to take over the terminal operation on 1st
October 2009 in accordance with Greek law. The Concession Agreement was put in full
force and effect.
The ratification law of the Concession Agreement was passed by the Greek Parliament and
was published in the Greek Government Gazette on 30th March 2009 and embodied as part
of Greek Law. The Concession Agreement has officially been entered into force.
Implementation of the Concession Agreement must be in full compliance with Greek Law.
The Labour Unions of Piraeus Port declared strike actions beginning on 1st October 2009 to
express their different views on privatization issues. It is expected that these industrial
actions continue to hinder the Company from commencing its operation of Piraeus Container
Terminal before 18th October 2009. However, to the Company’s best knowledge, the Greek
Government and the Labour Unions are currently undergoing an open dialogue and creating
conditions for a soonest possible resumption of work. The Company welcomes this positive
approach and will continue to closely monitor the latest development of this issue. Since
Piraeus Container Terminal is out of operation during the period of the strike, no operating
costs are incurred during such period.

Once the strike action has been resolved, PCT will continue to implement its original plans to
improve the terminal facilities and services. PCT are committed to developing the Piraeus
Port into a modern terminal providing reliable, flexible and efficient container handling
service to international shippers. At the same time, COSCO Pacific also looks forward to
joining hands with the port and shipping communities in Greece to further enhance the
function of Piraeus Port serving the shipping industry as a “Gateway to Greece and South
Europe”.
COSCO Pacific remains enthusiastic about Piraeus Container Terminal's bright future, and is
confident it will create value for its stakeholders including shareholders, customers,
employees and the Greek society.
