I refer to the report ‘€8 million depends on bees annually’ (November 25), which stated that an Environment Ministry representative, speaking on behalf of Minister Leo Brincat, delivered a statement of a few lines.
Please note that, as can be confirmed by Friends of the Earth themselves, having been notified that the minister himself was unable to attend due to parliamentary commitments throughout the whole afternoon, Friends of the Earth were kind enough to ask him to send a short supportive message that can be read out at the start of the meeting and which could be presented by a representative of the ministry. This is precisely what the minister promised to do and did.
