Talks on the compensation to be paid by the ten bottle water companies to the interim government are expected to begin next week.

Managing Director of Pleass Beverages and Packing Warick Pleass, who was present in the emergency meeting between the bottle water companies, the Interim Attorney General and the Military Council, said they believe negotiation is the best way forward.

Pleass added that they will have their own association meeting before they meet with the government officials.
