					<description><![CDATA[I do not know what makes Joseph Muscat, tick but with this he must be scraping the bottom of the barrel http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090328/local/muscat-asks-commissioner-to-investigate-comments-by-ministers

Doesn&#039;t he  know that there are official training programmes so that potential applicants for EU funds can be trained to play the game?  It is one of the principal features of the system, and those persons who have  the know-how and experience expose this in their CVs and website and most earn their living from helping others &#039;play the game&#039;. I don&#039;t know if I should laugh or cry (most probably cry as he has a good chance of being my prime minister in four years&#039; time).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No, Ms. Caruana Galizia, they are not planning to fly new voters in from the United States, Japan and ‘other countries’, because as you well pointed out, they simply do not have the cash in their bank account. In fact, I suspect that the only reason they have a bank account is for the bank to keep track of their overdrafts. But don&#039;t put past them that they will try to sneak out a few ballot boxes to those countries you mentioned. Funny that Cyprus is not a leading user of the Maltastar portal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Can someone perhaps enlighten me. I&#039;m reading an opinion piece by some Justyne Caruana about Maltastar&#039;s online history and how they were pioneers by putting a newspaper online etc. According to Network Solutions, their domain name has been registered since 2001. Was this when they actually set the site up, or had it been around earlier?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - The site was set up and run by Joseph Muscat, not earlier than 2001.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
