The National Congress told the press that it is advancing on the passing of the privatization of the nation’s principal airports. Aerodom won the bid for the privatization of the Las Americas (Santo Domingo), Gregorio Luperón (Puerto Plata), Arroyo Barril (Samaná) and María Montez (Barahona) airports. When a controversy arose over whether the contracts were in the best interest of the nation, the Commission for the Reform of Private Enterprise (CREP) sent the contracts to Congress for their information, and now Congress is studying the articles to reach an agreement with representatives of Aerodom. Subsequently, the revised contract will be returned to the Executive Branch so it can be resubmitted for approval. Several modifications have already been made. And more meetings are scheduled.
