Meusac helps Maltese organisations source €3m in EU funds
The Malta-EU action committee (Meusac) helped 125 Maltese organisations source €3 million in EU funds since it was reconstituted a year ago, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said this morning.
In a meeting with the Meusac core group, Dr Gonzi praised the committee for its work and said it was very important that civil society was kept well informed about the EU and the opportunities available to Malta through EU membership.
He also pointed out that it was thanks to EU membership that Malta last week was able to secure the investment in Malta by SR Technics and EasyJet for aircraft maintenance in Malta.
Parliamentary Secretary Chris Said said Meusac had contributed to social dialogue and he wished to thank all the social partners and organisations taking part. He said Meusac would continue to remain focused on keeping the people informed on the EU.

On the news this morning that SR Technics have left their base in Ireland without obeying a court order to pay 26 million euros pension funds.
Is this what we want in Malta?

It is not just getting foreign companies to open up in Malta but how much do they pay the Maltese workers and whether they will employ Maltese workers.
I've heard that the Maltese workers with one foreign company servicing aircraft amount only to about 20% while the rest are foreigners.
I've also heard that many of its employees are only paid €700 a month.
Is the government really after quality or quantity?
