Maltese MEP Alfred Sant promised Gozitan University students that he would continue to insist that the European Commission should recognise that small island states like Gozo do not affect the EU single market, as well as highlight that state aid and competition rules should be adjusted to make up for negative effects on Gozo due to its double insularity.
Dr. Sant, who visited the Gozo Week organised by the Gozo University Group (GUG) at the University of Malta, congratulated the Gozitan student organisation for voicing the concerns of Gozitan University students, and promised them that he would keep raising issues related to Gozo's double insularity problems at the appropriate fora within the European Parliament.
GUG have, in recent months, been updating Dr. Sant on the problems of Gozitan young people studying in Malta and the lack of suitable jobs for them in Gozo when they finish their tertiary education.
