Mr Abhisit said the cabinet had approved the prosecutor to file an appeal to the Administrative Court to unfreeze the frozen Map Ta Phut projects if they passed the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Mr Abhisit continued by saying that the private sector, including Japanese investors, would abide by the rule of law in section 67 Article 2 when making project investments in Thailand.

Mr Abhisit added that the projects that would greatly benefit the people would be taken into account seriously.
