The interconnector project between Malta and Italy was discussed today during a meeting in Sicily between Finance Minister Tonio Fenech and the President of the Sicilian region Raffaele Lombardo.

The meeting was aimed at ensuring that the process which should lead to the award of the permit for the interconnector by the Italian authorities would not fall behind, especially now that certain technical issues have been resolved.

Mr Fenech stressed the importance of the project for Malta while Mr Lombardo expressed his commitment to ensure that the process continues as agreed between the two sides.
