The government announced that it had approved the public offer for sale of 75,000 shares in the national airline, TAP, to its employees, at the price of €10.38 a share, saying that it expects the operation to go off well. TAP is to compile a list of the workers who fulfil the requirements to buy shares as part of the operation. The price of the shares on offer - which represents 5% of TAP's share capital - is at a discount of about 5% on the price at which the Atlantic Gateway consortium bought its shares in late 2014, at €10.93 each. Under the new model for TAP's privatisation agreed with the current government, which took office in November 2014, the consortium will have 45% of TAP.
