Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi reiterated his commitment to overcome Gozo's double insularity.
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi set much store in promoting the 'Gozitan dimension' of his government's decision-making, with a Cabinet meeting held at the ministry of Gozo in Victoria today.
Also present for the meeting was permanent representative to the European Union, Richard Cachia Caruana. It was the first Cabinet meeting in a long time in which the press was invited to an address by the prime minister: no questions were taken and the press conference was delayed because the party's Net TV crew missed the channel crossing.
Addressing the press, Gonzi highlighted his efforts in overcoming Gozo's double insularity, saying the government's benefits and schemes gave far greater advantages to Gozitan beneficiaries. He said Gozitans could benefit up to 60% in tax rebates, compared to 40% for Maltese nationals, and higher feed-in tariffs for photovoltaic and solar heating panels.
Gonzi also announced a new child development centre, to be built next to the Gozo general hospital. "The hospital's services will start being provided to this child development centre, which will offer specific services for the care of children," Gonzi said.
The prime minister said up to 10% of all European Union funds are hived off for projects in Gozo, which is one of Malta's thirteen electoral districts. "We believe this skew is essential to promote growth in Gozo. There are €71 million in projects waiting to be implemented."

These publicity stunts don`t impress us Gozitans anymore Dr Gonzi .We had enough broken promises from you
•
Nispera li l-ministru tagħna organizzatilhom kowċ. Lanqas ħaqq jiġu Għawdex b'karozza kull wieħed! Dak imur kontra l-ispirtu ta' Eko-Għawdex.
•
so its seems missing the boat is something inherent to the new PN- bring back Eddie anytime
•
Next thing we'll know gonzi promising a fetus hospital and a hospital for the dead. Why not think of this hospital before coming up with the City HOLE Project?

Ga zvintalu l-interess dwarha ... issa jerga' jiftakar dwarha xi xahar, xahrejn ohra !!!!
•
I will vote for GonziPN if he finishes the tunnel before the elections; b'GonziPN kollox possibli! Yups!
•
I promise you this and promise you that, Mr Gonzi made so many promises that he forgot that the same promises he made to the Maltese and Gozitans had already been promised to the people of Comino, Filfila and Cominoto.
•
The first time the Cabinet meet in Gozo was during the Prremiership of dr alfred Sant. More gimicks like the tunnel.Gimicks dont work any more........especialy in Gozo
•
Can they do anything original? He must have copied this circus from the EP circus which goes so many times from Brussels to Strasbourg at great expense to the tax payers.
•
Did the Gozitano "Queen" offer peppered cheese-lets to all her subjects in recognition of such an honour as this visit of such high office holders (was RCC present)? Was Gozo wine handed round to the gathered crowd at the entrance of the "palace"?
Oh, by the way, I was almost forgetting. Did the Finance Minister elaborate on the disparity in the tax receipts the National Government gathers from Gozo; and the enormous slice out of the national cake that ends in Gozo, seeing that most are public servants, consultants or employees of public servants.
