ATHENS: Greece is considering relaunching a tender to sell its railway operator (TRAINOSE) to allow more investors to bid for the state asset, its privatisation agency chief said on Wednesday.
The country has pushed a Jan. 15 deadline back by a few weeks for the submission of binding bids for TRAINOSE and its maintenance operator (ROSCO), due to technicalities.
Russian Railways (RZD) and its Greek partner GEK-Terna Holdings, France's SNCF Participations and Romania's S.C. Grup Feroviar Roman were shortlisted for TRAINOSE in 2013.
"There are more companies which want to participate in the tender but they formally cannot and we are considering giving them the opportunity to do so that we can have a more competitive tender," Stergios Pitsiorlas told Greek state television ERT.
