Malta and Libya have struck a deal under which the Maltese can buy Libyan oil and other energy products [[[[at preferential rates]]]. The deal, in the form of a memorandum of understanding, was signed after the Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had a meeting in the Maltese capital Valletta with the Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan, who arrived in Malta this morning. The agreement provides that Libya will supply energy products to Malta at preferential rates. That will include crude and refined oil, jet fuel and LPG. The agreement kicks in as soon as Libya resumes normal production, which is expected in the near future. “This will shield Malta and enable it to stabilise the price of fuel amid international price fluctuations,” the Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said at a press conference. He described the memorandum of understanding as ‘groundbreaking’. [[[Malta, he said, could in the medium term, become a hub for energy supplies to the EU]]]. The two countries also reached an arrangement for Libyan oil and gas workers to learn English in Malta.. Replying to questions, Dr Muscat said the new deal with Libya was independent of the government’s plans to reduce energy tariffs and bring in new generating capacity, which remained on time. The difference from the past, he said, was that Malta now had an energy policy. This agreement and other initiatives which were being discussed would help the economy and also help restore Enemalta to a sound financial footing.

[ed notes:this is interesting,because malta played a crucial role in directing,and organization of the Libyan regime change project on behalf of of course,vatican and eu powers,alongside the european monarchy backed gcc states.... MI6 leaks reveal Malta's role as launch pad for the attack on Libya
Maltese government secretly helped British spy operations in Libya

whats even more revealing is this deal goes thru as the scandal over the missing unaccounted 130 billion dollars from oil revenues is still making headlines and has even caused Libyan oil fields shutdown... “Shutdown of oil fields in eastern and southwestern Libya by the revolutionaries is to continue until the public find out where the 130 billion dinar ($103 billion) had gone since approved by the National Congress of the last and this year’s budgets.” http://www.tripolipost.com/articledetail.asp?c=1&i=10602

one might think the so called revolutionaries shutdown demanding accountability over missing funds and oil revenues is on behalf of public interest as tripolipost article assumes,however,this migth be just rethoric,when one realizes the shutdown actually shoots up oil prices ....who knows...or maybe they see they were actual tools and their govt now in power is just plundering wealth,leaving them crumbs..who knows..
