Our decision not to respond to the Mail and Guardian was taken after consultation with the authorities that issued Thermopower Process Technology (TPT) with the permit. It must also in no way be construed as an admission as to the truth or accuracy thereof and we certainly reserve the right to reply thereto in the appropriate forum and time. For the purposes of the record we operate under properly approved licenses and in fact adhere to the highest standards equaling or exceeding those of the European Union. [refers to Norcross]
