GRTU urges 'supportive action' to address fuel hike burden on SME's
The Malta Chamber for SME’s (GRTU) is insisting with government for the urgent setup of ‘supportive action’ for businesses who have been burdened with the spiralling cost of fuels.
In a charged statement, the GRTU stressed that the recent fuel hike has brought the transportation sector to its knees.
“Whether Government likes it or not, it is time to double think the way Enemalta with the support of the Malta Resource Authority are taking us all for a ride,” GRTU said, adding that it“cannot anymore accept a strategy that simply places Government as a transmission belt for fuel price increases, while MRA and Enemalta are Government.”
“Transparancy is gone from the vocabulary of the authorities where fuel increases are concerned,” it said.
GRTU stressed that it is not for confrontation,but it cannot accept a situation where “everything goes irrespective of the damages to so many micro firms.”
