Following the publication of the White Paper on a Public Service Act entitled "A Public Service for the 21st Century", issued by the Office of the Prime Minister last October, the FOI took part in a working group chaired by Parliamentary Secretary Edwin Vassallo, which focused on the reform.
Meetings were held in the last quarter of 2003 and the FOI submitted its position paper on the proposed reform to the parliamentary secretary last Friday.
The paper not only presents a number of recommendations, but also highlights the federation's views on the White Paper and the Bill regulating the public service.
