Russian Railways say there are 'no claims' on TRAINOSE tender

The head of the Russian Railways (RZD) said there are no claims on behalf of the company concerning Greece’s organization and conduction of a tender to sell stakes at its national railway network TRAINOSE, its rolling stock operating company ROSCO and Thessaloniki Port.

In a letter to the country’s privatization agency (HRADF) and its chief, Stergios Pitsiorlas, Oleg Belozerov clarified statements made to Interfax news agency in July that RZD had not received enough information about TRAINOSE.
“I would like to emphasize the absence of any claims on behalf of JSC Russian Railways in regards to the organization and conduction of these tenders,” the president of RZD said in his letter dated August 9.
“[I] would also like to note that the comment in an interview with ‘Interfax’ about the lack of information was given in the context of preparation of comprehensive assessment of TRAINOSE business by JSC Russian Railways, including the issues beyond the scope of responsibility of the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund.”
Belozerov also added that HRADF’s transport privatization program will help develop the sector and the overall economy. The letter was published on HRADF’s website.
