The Prime Minister will hold separate meetings tomorrow with the trade unions and the GRTU, the Office of the Prime Minister said today.

The trade unions requested the meeting at the end of a demonstration in Valletta on Friday. They said they were seeking a review of the tariffs, or compensation.

The GRTU had also, separately, written to Dr Gonzi seeking the meeting.

Both meetings will discuss the water and electricity tariffs.

Dr Gonzi said yesterday that while the tariffs may be tweaked, he could not have major changes which would encourage waste.

"I want to listen to their suggestions for tariffs which incentivise those who are careful not to waste," Dr Gonzi said about the request for the meetings.
