EPP president Manfred Weber will be addressing the PN general council on Sunday, Opposition leader Adrian Delia said on Wednesday.
Weber is the EPP’s nominee for the post of European Commission president.
Dr Delia said that Mr Weber came from a small town and was therefore well aware of the challenges facing small retail businesses which were losing business to online sales.
He was speaking during a visit by a Malta Business Bureau delegation to the PN headquarters, during which he was presented with a copy of their business manifesto for the European Parliament elections.
Dr Delia said that the PN was working within the European Parliament to find ways to help retailers grow their online present and to fight unfair competition.
