industry/stock market
Graz, July 7, 2009. International technology
Group ANDRITZ regrets the withdrawal by export credit agencies in 
Germany, Switzerland and Austria from the Ilisu hydropower project in
Turkey. Wolfgang Leitner, President and CEO of ANDRITZ AG, says: "It 
is very unfortunate that the intense efforts Turkey has made in the 
past months to implement the accompanying measures in the 
environmental, resettlement and cultural areas did not receive 
adequate recognition." Turkey fulfilled many of the pending items and
requirements set by the export credit agencies; this substantial 
progress was also acknowledged by the independent Committee of 
Experts (CoE) appointed by the export insurance agencies, which 
conducted an in-depth examination in Turkey of the measures 
implemented.
This decision by the export credit agencies will not have any 
material financial impact on ANDRITZ because only a very small amount
of the order value has been booked so far.
ANDRITZ now awaits the Turkish government´s decision on how it will 
proceed with this project.
