Another warning for Dairygold! Print E-mail

February 19th, 2007: Carwyn Jones today announced his intention to take legal action against Dairygold to secure the return of £663,528 of public funding. In a statement on the Welsh Assembly website he said: "We have had long-running discussions with Dairygold about recovering the grant funding, but, unfortunately, on the basis of the position adopted by Dairygold, it seems that legal action is the only option that is left to us.

He added: "I have now written to Dairygold's lawyers to notify them formally that we are minded to start legal proceedings very soon. I have given them one final opportunity to provide further information."

However, the Dyffryn Aeron Dairygold Campaign Group believe that Dairygold have had several opportunities to present information and repay the grant. Discussions between the Welsh Assembly and the company have been ongoing for months, and the Weslh Assembly is dragging its feet because it fears the costs of a a legal battle with Dairygold.

The grant is one symbol of the injustice in Dyffryn Aeron. An international company trampling on the rights of workers, local authorities and national governments. It is a very important symbolic step that the grant be repaid. 

BUT EVEN IF THE GRANT IS REPAID, THE BIGGEST SYMBOL OF THE INJUSTICE BROUGHT ABOUT IN DYFFRYN AERON BY DAIRYGOLD STILL STANDS - AN EMPTY FACTORY.
