GRTU Director General Vince Farrugia said this morning that he is optimistic that a solution on the water and electricity tariffs for small businesses could be reached by next week.

Speaking after a meeting with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, Mr Farrugia said his delegation had made proposals to Dr Gonzi on the tariffs and on an investment programme. It was important, Mr Farrugia said, that this issue was resolved as quickly as possible so as not to harm Christmas business.

He said that the Prime Minister showed he was willing to listen and talks would now continue at a technical level.

Dr Gonzi is to meet a delegation from the trade unions this afternoon. (See video)
