Chamber's Yachting Services Trade Section meets PM

A delegation from the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise's yachting services trade section led by chairman Wilfred Sultana recently met Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi at Auberge de Castille.

The PM was accompanied Competitiveness and Communications Minister Censu Galea.

The delegation included honorary secretary John A. Huber and executive committee members Pierre Balzan and Mark Vassallo. They were accompanied by the chamber's senior executive for PR, Policy and Planning, Reuben Sciberras.

Mr Huber presented a memorandum which the YSTS compiled for political parties with suggestions and proposals to be included in the electoral programmes for the general election.

Mr Huber highlighted three main areas of action, namely the need for more berthing, more hard-standing facilities, and the issue of privatisation of MMA marinas.

The Prime Minister welcomed the suggestions and said that the section and the Government are on the same wavelength insofar the need to continue highlighting the importance of this sector as part of the Maltese economy are concerned. He said that the authorities recognised the priorities mentioned by the YSTS and the new legislature should see further action on this front.
