After this outcome basic technical and commercial parameters of the Project are re-examined in order this to beannounced again.Hydroelectric UnitsMessochora HEP• Following the ruling No 141/<strong>2010</strong> by the competent Suspension Committee of the Council of State, the immediatecease of all works has been ordered at all relevant projects, as well as the cease of operation of all completed projects,until the final judgment is issued by the Plenary of the Council of State.Further developments, namely the final judgment, will be issued by the Plenary of the Council of State after taking intoconsideration the ruling of the European Court of Justice in relevant preliminary questions, already addressed to thisCourt, referring to the compatibility of the provisions of the Law 3481/2006 with the European legal framework.PPC considers that the Hydroelectric Plant of Messochora is independent from the Acheloos River Diversion toThessaly Scheme and therefore it should be not affected from the abovementioned issues. PPC examines thepossibility to disengage Messochora Power Plant from the overall Acheloos River Diversion Scheme, so that theProject can be faced as an independent unit and have its own environmental terms, i.e. independently from the otherProjects of the Diversion Scheme. For this purpose, PPC waits for the completion of the Water Management Study,ordered by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, related to the compilation of the Water Management Planof the Catchment Areas in the water territories of the Western Central Greece and Thessaly, in which the CatchmentArea of the River Acheloos is included. These studies are expected to be completed in February 2012.
