appointment that would require disclosure under Schedule two paragraph (g) of

Dimitri Goulandris commented: 
 
"After discussions with Sakis and given the current economic environment, I have 
decided that it is in the best interests of the Group that I resign and make way 
for an Athens-based Chairman who can focus on the two critical domestic issues, 
receivables and bank financing.  It has been a pleasure for me to work with the 
Group's management and I wish them all the luck and success going forward."

About Helesi

use in the waste management industry and a provider of waste management 
services.  Its activities comprise: 
·      the design and manufacture of plastic waste containers including 2 and 4 
wheeled bins, pre-sorting bins and the full range of EN 840 standard containers; 
·      the provision of waste management services (waste collection, container 
washing, street sweeping and recyclable materials collection). 
·      the design and manufacture of material handling plastic products (pallet 
boxes and crates) for agricultural, domestic and industrial use and other

·      the supply of special vehicles and equipment for the waste management 
industry; and

Demand for Helesi's products and services in developed waste management markets 
is driven by increasingly stringent regulation on waste management and 
recycling. Growing demand is also being experienced in developing countries, 
which are looking to establish centralised and orderly waste management 
services. Helesi has developed a strong market position in both the developed 
waste management markets of Western Europe as well as in the high growth markets 
of South-eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. With sales in 52 
countries, the Company derives more than 70% of its waste container revenue 
internationally.
