A document with 2,500 proposals for an Eco-Gozo by 2015 is being presented to Cabinet in the coming days, Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono said this morning.
The minister was being interviewed by PBS journalist Sergio Mallia on Radio 101.
She said that the document, which was an electoral promise for this legislature and part of the government’s vision for 2015, was the result of consultation with more than 60 experts in a number of sectors, civil society and the administration of the Isle of Wight in the UK, which had adopted a similar strategy.
The minister said that the strategy contained short and long term targets. Once approved by Cabinet, it would be published for a short consultation period before a final version for implementation would be drawn up.
The Eco-Gozo vision, the minister said, did not mean the freezing of investment and development on the island but it was a vision based on sustainable development.
