A statement issued by Ashdown's office Monday (23 December) said he made his decision after considering which of the three possible options allowed under law -- sale, recapitalising, or liquidation -- would best serve the interests of small depositors, individual businesses and the local economy.
O declaratie facuta publica luni (23 decembrie) de biroul lui Ashdown indica faptul ca acesta ar fi luat aceasta decizie dupa ce a luat in calcul trei variante ingaduite de lege -- vanzarea, recapitalizarea si lichidarea; el a ales varianta care protejeaza cel mai bine interesul micilor depunatori, al micilor intreprinderi si al economiei locale.
