@N.Calleja
Go get a life, this hog wash about the regime and unable to say anything is nothing but pure brain washing at its best by the PN strategists.
You keep believing your own lies , one must admit that not all was roses during Mintoff's time, even then there was corruption but not on the masgnitude of the Power Station extention and the yacht ship yard.
It would have been unthought of that a minister like Doleres Cristina losing millions of funds due to negligence or mismanagement, Mintoff would have seen to it that the culprit got his dues.
If nothing during Mintoff's time we had a government that really worked for the people, yes there was some tiddly winks, but unlike today when the government works for its own.
Mr Calleja are you happy with the BWSC prototype, HFO burning air poluting, toxic waste manufacturing, cancer generating power station .?

@ N. Calleja well Sir I, along with all of Malta should be thankful for having had such a character in the civil service as the one you occupied and from descriptions of yours it seems that you kept ridgid in your beliefs and assuming of impartiality in their executions.
N.Calleja please note very carefully; there are / will be others who will stay upright ( and have to work in such dangerouse environment) ) in spite of skewed ideas and systems'desease riddled policies which the very nature policies' give rise to imminent abuse Without even bothering to offer structures for such obviouse abuses to be "checked "
Also please do contact me so as to explain only a tiny fraction on the many"Micky Mouse " VRT policies and You will CHANGE your overall outcome
N.B Sorry but I have to end this conv./ comments on pers. level
the best of health to you N.Calleja and All, regards
R. C

Mela wara x-xahar ta' Lulju kollu, ma nafx kemm il-gurnata mix-xahar ta' Gunju u erbgha tijiem mix-xahar ta' Awissu (meta jiskadi id-'deadline'), l-avukati nazzjonalisti sabu ventilatur minn fejn johorgu lill gvern minn dan l-iskandlu. U int ghaziz haddiem bhali, jekk taqla xi 'charge' fuq ix-xoghol tinghata 3 ijiem cans biex tirrispondi ghalih anki jekk min jaf kemm ikunu ivvintaw gideb fuqek.
Veru miskin il-haddiem, ghalhekk jien nemmen li hemm Infern u Genna.

Ghaliex halla sa l'ahhar biex jirrispondi? Min ma jkollux faham miblul, affarijiet bhal dawn jirrispondihom mill-ewwell. Hemm xi haga tinten fin-nofs.
Tghid ser jirnexxilu jinganna lill EU ukoll?

@N. Zahra
Your comment about the Maltese people warrants an answer. You are not delegated to represent the Maltese electorate to state what they are or not particularly when your statement that the Maltese electorate is weak, is completely false and abusive.

If you think and really believe that you are WEAK, then do not try to transfer your weakness on others and say that the Maltese are weak.

We are not weak. That is why we have the CNI because we have a strong society and want to help the Maltese citizens of good will to understand that together WE CAN. We have achieved so much even when we were not part of the EU because we believed in our abilities. If you do not believe in yourself than its not surprising to state that you are weak.

Your comment however exposes the reality why the people voted for the EU - because as you stated, they believed that as a country we are weak. It's a pity that we had a serious decision taken on this stupid premise.

Asked if correspondence between the EU and Malta would be published, as the PL requested yesterday, is a direct question. Dr Gonzi’s reply that nothing was secret and the government might consider publication at a later stage, is an evasive answer. If there’s no secrets Dr. Gonzi shouldn’t have qualified his statement, the answer should have been yes. ‘Might consider’ is neither here nor there, it’s just leaving his options open.

Asked about what had prompted the Commission to write to the government, Dr Gonzi said such action was normal in cases such as this.
And what are cases such as this? ‘Normal ‘in this case is when the EU suspects that a Member State broke EU procurement rules when awarding public contracts.
According to EU sources, the Commission had concerns that Malta might have infringed EU public procurement law in the tender procedure carried out by Enemalta.

Thank God for the EU's interference! This is exactly why I voted for the EU. Because Maltese politicians need a higher authority to be accountable too. The Maltese electorate is too weak to keep its politicians in check.

to g.c Forte and m.borg
Thanks for your thoughts but I do not need any of your suggestions to the PM. I worked diligently under all sorts of governments, and was always happy with my achievements. No government ever gave me anything I did not deserve. and so I do not owe anything to anyone I do not need any government to brainwash me but I have a mind of my own and can judge between right and wrong. The simple fact that both of you have the democratic chance to criticise the government is far better then during your time when god forbuds if you said a word against the dictatorial regime!

This is what we are getting from the EU . Interference in our internal affairs. We have lost our Independence which Dr, Borg Olivier brought to the Maltese

To the Prime Minister
Please don't forget to send a copy to the PL, one to Evarist Bartolo personally, and a copy to mario gellel, g.c. Forte, and Raymond Cutajar. They enjoy having a memorable copy in their personal file!! Good job we entered the EU during your time because if we did during the Labour scandalous years, we would have had volumes to answer!!

Dear Prime Minister One and many hopes that the EU will also be calling on the Maltese Government to explain the dreadfull situation surrounding the VRT hidden agenda of keeping everything secret from the public.
VRT = Vehicle Roadworthiness Test
I suppose that you dear Sir Prime Minister has given orders to keep all that is connected with the VRT issues mumm !
Only issues which STINK are allowed in that category and the EU would be more than surprised as to how on earth such a tiny country could have ever had allowed so much ABUSES for So Long !!!! Almost 11 yes eleven years

If according to Gonzi nothing is secret in this shamful power station contract , than why is he saying that he only 'might consider making it public' and not made it public from day one????
