However, at this time, the legacy of the socio-economic systems and structures made more rapid integration of the countries of Eastern Europe into the Community difficult. In order to help them move towards liberal democracy and a market economy, the Community, and then the European Union, concluded Association Agreements with them with a view to their future accession. The Essen European Council (9–10 December 1994) set out a ‘pre-accession’ strategy in order to prepare the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) for the progressive adoption of the Community acquis, the entire body of legislation adopted by the Community. It also ‘confirm[ed] that the next phase of enlargement of the Union w[ould] involve Cyprus and Malta’. The Copenhagen European Council (21–22 June 1993) had previously spelt out the political and economic conditions to be met for accession to the European Union in the ‘Copenhagen criteria’. Thereupon, one country after another applied for accession: Hungary (31 March 1994), Poland (5 April), Romania (22 June 1995), Slovakia (27 June 1995), Latvia (13 October 1995), Estonia (24 November 1995), Lithuania (8 December 1995), Bulgaria (14 December 1995), the Czech Republic (17 January 1996) and Slovenia (10 June 1996).

    1974: From Constitutional Monarchy to Republic Ugo Mifsud Bonnici he way in which Independence was achieved for Malta in 1964 was Tthe result of a masterpiece of political manoeuvre. Prime Minister Borg Olivier was in earnest, but had to be engaged in political contests on at least three fronts: that with the British Government, that with the Labour Opposition and that with the Opposition offered by the three other non-Labour parties represented in Parliament. On the content and structure of the Independence constitution he had to produce a draft document acceptable to the United Kingdom Government, because the Independence Act would have to emanate from there, and acceptable also to the three minor parties, who would be expected to add their votes for the approval of the Statute by our Parliament. The Labour Opposition had to be utilised as the component of the Maltese electorate that could seal the question as to whether Independence should happen immediately, but if the famous six points which contained their objections were to be received, that would lose the consent of the three other parties, and a 47 LANDMARKS IN MAlTESE CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY: 1849-1974 substantial part of the Nationalist Electorate. The vote in the Maltese Parliament, the response of the electorate in the Referendum, the United Kingdom's Independence Act and Order in Council, were secured, notwithstanding the reservations of the Labour Party and their vote in the negative. But only just.
