EU Commissioner for Cohesion Policy Danuta Hubner met members of Malta Council for Economic and Social Development (MCESD), among them NCW general secretary Doris Bingley.
Ms Hubner showed great interest in women's role in Malta, especially in decision-making positions. The NCW hopes that the cohesion policy brings quality employment and growth to Malta and with it, more positions for women in government, parliament, local councils, boards and commissions and industry.
The implementation of micro credit schemes to SMEs is welcomed, especially by women entrepreneurs.
The impact of cohesion policy on Malta's economy from 2007-2013 will definitely be a success if these goals are met.
