Philipsburg: ---The island council of St. Maarten has voted unanimously in favor of rejecting the amendments to the business license of Scarlet NV, which would offer telecommunication services on the island.
The island council had postponed the meeting, which began on Thursday to take a decision that would be in the best interest of the island. The executive council had submitted a proposal to grant the amendments to Scarlet but subsequently withdrew that proposal and presented a new proposal to the Island Council to deem the administrative appeal of Scarlet unfounded and to instruct the executive council not to grant the amendments.
The island council also ordered that the executive council send a letter to Scarlet informing them of the decisions taken by the island council not to grant them the amendments to their business license.
