The Inter-ministerial Committee for Asset Restructuring and Privatisations (ICARP) of the Helenic Republic has decided to establish a special purpose company Hellenic Motorways S.A. and to explore the possibilities involved with transfer into that company of the rights presently held by the Republic in the wide array of tolled/ concession motorways under construction or operating across the country.
