LABOUR MEP Alfred Sant has
said that the Maltese private sec-
tor's lobby in Brussels should be
more proactive in flagging Eu-
ropean developments that could
hamper the island's competitive-
ness.
His criticism came after being
asked by MaltaToday over the fail-
ure of Maltese MEPs to have a raft
of amendments passed at com-
mittee stage, to soften the blow
of EU cabotage rules on Maltese
logistics and trucking firms.
