I guess it will more than suffice the make the Eternal Flame eternal once again. With some help from Chinese engineers it should be easy to convert it from LPG to natural gas.

It is not a question of the ‘deals’ being secret otherwise the news would not appear on the particular country in question.

You surely mean “…secures the payment…”

Look up the M&A online. It’s a public document.

Socar (part of Electorgas Malta) has many things going on in Greece.

Another huge investment is currently being investigated by the EU.

Can’t Dr Busuttil apply EU pressure and lobby for transparency requirements to be respected especially where we have a situation where it is the State itself dealing with criminals?

Siemens is there until it secures the order of the turbines. Then it will disappear.

Where does Siemens figure in this project? Can we see the Memorandum & Articles of Electrogas Malta Ltd, to see how it is constituted exactly?

Muscat had said in December that the “turbines were being manufactured” – when the contract seems to have been signed yesterday.
