“We intend to be actively involved in the discussion of the Task Force and welcome any attention to projects related to strengthening the energy and transportation networks. These productive projects in our opinion should strengthen our individual economies, especially the smaller ones but also the European Union as a whole” Professor Edward Scicluna stated.

The Minister for Finance was attending a two day meeting on 13 and 14 October in Luxembourg covering the Euro area Finance Ministers meeting and the ECOFIN Council.

The ECOFIN Council was preceded with a Ministerial dialogue with the EFTA countries, coupled with the signing of a joint statement on company tax issues between the member states and the Swiss Federal Council.

The ECOFIN Council held a session which dealt primarily with the ongoing OECD work in the area of Base Erosion and Profit Shifting. During this session, Minister Edward Scicluna stressed the importance of EU Member States adopting a coordinated position in this area, not least to ensure that the ultimate recommendations by the OECD respect the parameters of law.

Ministers reached a political agreement on the issue of Mandatory Exchange of Information in the field of taxation and held a general orientation debate on the Energy Taxation Directive.

 

 

Other topics dealt with during the meetings included a follow up debrief of meetings of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Governors, and the IMF/World Bank meetings, as well as a state of play session on the most recent developments in the EU`s Banking Union. During the informal session, Ministers had the opportunity to exchange views on the EU`s 2030 framework for climate and energy.

For the meetings, the Minister for Finance was accompanied by Ambassador Marlene Bonnici, Permanent Representative of Malta to the EU and the Permanent Secretary Mr. Alfred Camilleri.

  1248. Choosing the right foundation is important as it affects your skin. It is vital to understand what suits your skin and how it reacts to the foundation. Here are a few things to remember while choosing the best dry skin foundation: 129 Medium Beige Pro tip: To make your lipstick last longer, New York City-based makeup artist Troy Surratt previously told Allure to apply your lipstick straight from the tube, blot with a tissue, then swipe it on again. “Blotting will create a base, and the second coat adds shine and coverage,” he said. I would absolutely recommend the Maybelline Fit Me Matte And Poreless Foundation, especially to women with oily skin. It works beautifully even for normal, dry, and combination skin types. It’s most suitable for those of you looking for a lightweight foundation to even out your skin tone by covering minor imperfections, redness, pigmentation, and marks. It offers buildable coverage, and you have a lot to work with.

    The Banana Bright Eye Creme does instantly brighten the eye area – as do most eye products since you’re moisturizing the skin. But the product does also have mica in it which is great for reflecting light and gives the illusion of brighter eyes. So yes, you can possibly see “instant results”, but it doesn’t mean it has inherently improved your dark circles as it is a cosmetic approach to start. With long term use, that’s when the eye cream will slowly help with improving the brightness of the eye area over time so you’ll need to be patient. This eye however, did not help with puffiness for me – but this product also doesn’t claim to target this problem. Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links.
