This is not a new universal migrant levy, and the excerpt includes visitors as well as people coming to live in Malta. Consider merging with infrastructure-revenue policy to avoid duplicate parent records. Source wording: B’dawn il-miżuri rridu ndaħħlu sens aħjar ta’ bilanċ. Irridu li l-Maltin jibqgħu komdi f’pajjiżna, u l-barrani li qed iżurna jew jiġi jgħix fostna, nilqgħuh kif dejjem għamilna, imma jkun huwa wkoll li jikkontribwixxi lejn il-pajjiż għal dak li qed jirċievi lura. / Dawn il-pressjonijiet għandhom prezz. Prezz li huwa importanti li ma jinġarrx biss mill-kontribwenti Maltin u Għawdxin, imma li għandu jkun mifrux fuq min qed ikun ukoll fattur għal din il- pressjoni.
