MCI demands compensation from Treasury Ministry

"The demanded amount of zl.40 million includes the real losses on the JTT shares as well as the lost benefits," said MCI's investment director, Andrzej Lis. "If the company continued to operate, it would be worth over zl.100 million and would bring big profits to the shareholders."The representatives of MCI are aware of the fact that the case will be long lasting and difficult. "If it comes down to it we will go to the European Justice Tribunal," added Lis, who revealed that if it comes to an agreement, the sum demanded might fall below zl.30 million. "We have a chance for a huge compensation," said Lis. "If we get a small one or a symbolic one, such as zl.100,000 it will still be our victory. It's the priciple that counts."(Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) A.K.
