In our meetings in Cyprus with governmental and self-governing factors on water supply and drainage issues, we found common concerns and fertile ground for cooperation. We aspire to turn EYATH into a national and regional model of good practices for sustainable development and sustainability, to be present in the international markets in matters of our competence”, pointed out Anthimos Amanatidis, managing director of EYATH.
