“The Prime Minister today mentioned, when questioned by a journalists from The Malta Independent, that the audit will be carried out under the agreement Malta has with New Zealand within the OECD ‘document framework’ (the Prime Minister didn’t know the name of the document and said he will find it out).”

It’s the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters of which both Malta and New Zealand are signatories, but exchange is voluntary and will be automatic as of next year.

Jeez, has he not heard of Google.

In reply to Genn. One may safely answer that not even Edward Scicluna himself knows where he is. More than half-dazed perhaps and not knowing what to do next.

In reply to Genn. When you ask a question, there is no need to precede it with the descriptor 'question'. That is what a question mark is for.
