The opening of a Small Business Unit in Gozo, as well as the extension of the Malta Crafts Council to Gozo would serve to strengthen Gozo`s economic operation, the parliamentary secretary in the Economic Services Ministry, Edwin Vassallo, said.

The government was embarking on the necessary preparations to improve Gozo`s representation in the field of crafts in the shortest space of time through the setting up of a Gozo Crafts Council, which would address the particular needs of the Gozitan industry, Mr Vassallo said.

The Small Business Unit would address more directly the needs of Gozitan small businesses.

Mr Vassallo was addressing a number of Gozitan craftsmen and crafts teachers, together with Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono.
