At Loux’s award, the CEO of the company, Yannis Marlafekas, addressing the Secretary General of the Ministry of National Economy, who attended the event, pointed out the urgent need to change the status of the new development law and in particular the special status of old tax-free reserves. More specifically, he stated: “We came out of a regime of total flexibility of movement and transparency of control and we will end up being judged and evaluated by an inefficient public administration for our own profits, which we want to translate into investments. We ask the Ministry for help so that the Greek businesses that consciously want to help this country continue their journey. In order for diamonds to exist and shine in the coming years”.
