Govt appeals industrial injunction

Govt appeals industrial injunction

The Ministry of Industry has appealed the Administrative Court’s injunction suspending the operating permits of 76 industrial projects, most in Rayong’s Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Sorrayuth Petchtrakul, assistant to the industry minister said on Friday afternoon.

During the meeting of the council economic ministers on Wednesday Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, directed the Ministry of Industry to appeal the court’s injunction within one or two days.

The ministers were worried the country’s investment climate would be irreparably damaged.

The court ordered the suspension of the projects pending a decision on an environmental lawsuit.

Mr Sorrayuth said the appeal had now been filed with the court.
