Further to a decision taken at its Annual General Meeting in February, the Gozo Business Chamber has set up a Gozo-Malta Permanent Link Committee, the aim of which is to promote a permanent link between the islands of Gozo and Malta. The members forming the committee are Joseph Borg, Michael Grech, Anthony Bezzina, Paul Curmi, George Galea, Francis Xavier Tabone and Euchar Vella.

Amongst its objectives the Committee said it wants to encourage a widespread discussion on the theme in various fora in Gozo and in Malta. The Committee, which will be holding various outreach meetings in Gozo and in Malta, is also inviting the general public, NGO’s and Constituted Bodies to contact it by writing to the Permanent Link Committee at the Gozo Business Chamber, 27 Republic Street, Victoria, Gozo or by email to islelink@gozobusinesschamber.org, The committee said that all opinions are welcome and it looks forward to receiving and taking full account of such contributions.

In a meeting held late last week with the Parliamentary Secretary Dr Chris Said, the Committee expressed its full support for the Government’s position to initiate studies related to a sub-sea tunnel between the two islands. It also expressed satisfaction at the momentum which this proposal was gaining. It reiterated that such a permanent link will push forward Gozo to benefit from national economic growth in a proportionate manner whilst driving the island to contribute more to the nation as a whole.
