Manoel Island's development project
Speaking on the Manoel Island's development project, MIDI plc stated that it is not negotiating nor discussing with Government or any other party in respect of the MIDI project itself other than the usual consultations with agencies (such as MEPA).
"The essence of Mr. Mizzi’s comment was simply to point out that contracts come with both rights and obligations and Midi can hardly be expected to give up its 'right' to develop the approved area on Manoel Island without being reimbursed for its onerous obligations and without being granted fair and adequate compensation for what it would forego.
It would be inconceivable to propose otherwise, both for the original investors as well as the over 700 public shareholders who invested in 2010 pursuant to a prospectus outlining the right to develop Manoel Island."
Midi has not held any discussions with Government on this subject and remains on course to develop Manoel Island according to the outline permits it holds.

Prof. Lammert claimed that national parliaments are set to have a more influential role in future as they will no longer restrict themselves to ratify agreements, but will be called upon to participate in the drafting of important EU directives.
