The Regional Assistant Secretary of the Presidency for Parliamentary Affairs restated at the Legislative Assembly that the accounts of Grupo SATA are fully transparent.
Speaking during the debate on a request to audit the accounts of the regional airline, submitted by PSD, Isabel Almeida Rodrigues stressed that the SATA's accounts are certified by a Single Auditor; they are audit by a company of reference and are annually submitted to the Court of Auditors.
"Transparency has been and will continue to be an inalienable principle for us," the Regional Secretary stated, adding that the Regional Government "has nothing to oppose" this initiative, "nor to comment on the period comprised by the audit."
Isabel Almeida Rodrigues stressed the Government is focused on providing the Azores with an airline that meets the needs of the population and of those who visit the archipelago, especially with regard to "high safety and service quality standards." However, the Government has met with the opposition of PSD, whose goal is to create of suspicion that is visible day by day."
