I vaguely remember (I stand to be corrected on this) that the EU parliament and the European NGOs shot down the idea, and were appalled that the GMO introduction in Europe was even discussed or considered, where opposition to their introduction is considered as sacrosanct.

Joseph declared his support for Dalli’s proposal as soon as John dalli made an appearance on TV, the week following last year’s budget. He couldn’t keep himself from saying how wrong GonziPN was if a billion euro investment wasn’t considered.

It’s all on record. Anglu Farrugia and Karmenu Vella repeated this on Bondi+ on different occasions. At one point last january, it was THE cunning plan which would have reduced electricity costs.

When Marlene Farrugia held back on Bondi+ a few weeks later, she was demoted from Labour shadow for energy, Konrad Mizzi having taken her place.

And I fail to see any Labour connection with Sargas. All statements made by Labour on the subject were about considering this alongside other alternatives. Considering that even the PN government (allegedly) vetted this, it puts both parties at par.

[Daphne – Don’t be ridiculous. Labour’s deputy leader himself said that his party’s plan for water and electricity is “il-pjan ta’ John Dalli”.]

[Daphne – They might not even have had it.]

[Daphne – Unfortunately and tragically, it does not. Or if it does, it’s too late for the victims, and the consequences carry on down the generations.]
