Standards commissioner’s report on tourism consultancy
Reference is made to the editorial ‘Muscat must know that the brave would face the music’ (January 11) that erroneously states: “Still, the details of the findings remain under wraps because the commissioner decided not to publish his report although a copy was handed over to the standards committee.”
Please note that the decision whether or not to publish the commissioner’s report in cases where the standards commissioner has found that there has been a breach of the code of ethics rests with the standards committee, not with the commissioner, and in any case, contrary to what is stated in the editorial, the report was actually published by the committee on October 14 and all the local media, including Times of Malta, had reported it in its entirety.
