Actually, the resolution to change the company name that was filed at the MFSA is dated 11 June 2014 and only a Gasol representative has signed it (even though everyone has to for the change to be effective according to law).

The change of name was effective from 9 July 2014, again according to a certificate as issued by the MFSA.

The statement from Gasol with respect to withdrawing their listing on AIM is dated 23 June 2014.

So they filed to change the company name (and the MFSA seem to have accepted it even though it was not signed off by the other stakeholders) and then announced their intention to delist from AIM.

There you go.]]></description>

Malta&#039;s market is so small, China&#039;s interest is definitely not economic. It is political, it is ideological and China will be using Malta as a foot in the door leading to Europe&#039;s market of 500 million people.

China&#039;s payments to the Malta government for this or that are regarded as the cost of building a gateway to business in the European Union. No more, and no less than that.]]></description>

Liberty of speech? That&#039;s a good one, Loporto!

Then how about you insists that the prime minister you elected gives journalists some proper answers to their questions, instead of running away or using &#039;see what the others did&#039; responses?

The development of 9 July 2014 should confirm further why no works have started at Delimara, except for some ground tests.

If financing has just been put in place, it is only now that the directors of Electrogas Malta Limited have access to money which they can start committing to works.  

Had those directors committed their company to significant works (such as excavation) without the commitment of funds in the form of loans or share capital, the directors would be overtrading and would be exposing the company to bankruptcy and to commitments which it might not be able to honour, especially if the financing negotiations had failed.

However, there is no publicly available information on whether Electrogas Malta Limited now has the financing necessary for the project.  There have been no statements by Gasol plc about this, and it seems that Enemalta has stopped updating its website with developments on this project.]]></description>
