The Nationalist Party said today that part of a treaty between Libya and Italy which Joseph Muscat was given access to during his recent visit to Tripoli was actually published in a Libyan newspaper more than a month ago.

It said in a statement that the treaty signed between Libya and Italy on August 30 was published in full by the Libyan news agency Jana.

On his arrival from Libya late on Tuesday, Dr Muscat told a news conference at the airport that he had been given access to part of the treaty signed between the Italian and Libyan governments a month and a half ago.
