Employers want consultative council to discuss ‘respect for ODZ areas’

The Malta Employers Association has become the latest organisation to position itself against use of ODZ areas for development.

The MEA said that although it was in favour of developing Malta’s potential to attract investment in education, something that it had formally proposed to the political parties in its memorandum before the last elections, this should be done in a manner that respects the country's natural environment.

“There should be a concerted effort to attract quality educational institutions in sites that are already developed or dilapidated, of which there are many in Malta,” the MEA said.

The association called on the MCESD to place this item on the agenda for discussion consultation with the social partners.
