    EUROPEAN COUNCIL Valletta, 13 January 2010 THE PRESIDENT PCE 06/10 Remarks by Herman VAN ROMPUY, President of the European Council following the meeting with Mr Lawrence GONZI, Prime Minister of Malta Herman Van ROMPUY, President of the European Council, visited Valletta today to attend a meeting with Mr Lawrence GONZI, Prime Minister of Malta. The following is a summary of his remarks made to journalists at the end of the meeting: "I am very pleased to be here in Valletta, for what has been a very productive discussion with Prime Minister Gonzi. Two immediate challenges face us, which will require the full engagement of the EU at the highest level: tackling the economic crisis and responding to the climate change. In this regard I have convened a meeting of EU Heads of State or Government, on 11 February, to examine these two issues. Securing full economic recovery in Europe is the key priority. We must overcome the challenges linked to this crisis whilst press ahead with the structural changes that we had embarked on under the Lisbon Strategy for jobs and growth. We must stimulate economic growth in order to finance our social model, to preserve what I call our "European Way of Life". On climate change, which will be the other big dossier the EU needs to tackle in the coming months. The EU must continue to be a driving force in this field. There has been a lot of criticism about the outcome of Copenhagen. Let us be clear. Without the EU, the results of Copenhagen would have been significantly less.

  • Archbishop Michael Gonzi, Dom Mintoff, and the End of Empire in Malta
    1 PRIESTS AND POLITICIANS: ARCHBISHOP MICHAEL GONZI, DOM MINTOFF, AND THE END OF EMPIRE IN MALTA SIMON C. SMITH University of Hull The political contest in Malta at the end of empire involved not merely the British colonial authorities and emerging nationalists, but also the powerful Catholic Church. Under Archbishop Gonzi’s leadership, the Church took an overtly political stance over the leading issues of the day including integration with the United Kingdom, the declaration of an emergency in 1958, and Malta’s progress towards independence. Invariably, Gonzi and the Church found themselves at loggerheads with the Dom Mintoff and his Malta Labour Party. Despite his uncompromising image, Gonzi in fact demonstrated a flexible turn of mind, not least on the central issue of Maltese independence. Rather than seeking to stand in the way of Malta’s move towards constitutional separation from Britain, the Archbishop set about co-operating with the Nationalist Party of Giorgio Borg Olivier in the interests of securing the position of the Church within an independent Malta. For their part, the British came to accept by the early 1960s the desirability of Maltese self-determination and did not try to use the Church to impede progress towards independence. In the short-term, Gonzi succeeded in protecting the Church during the period of decolonization, but in the longer-term the papacy’s softening of its line on socialism, coupled with the return to power of Mintoff in 1971, saw a sharp decline in the fortunes of the Church and Archbishop Gonzi. Although less overt than the Orthodox Church in Cyprus, the power and influence of the Catholic Church in Malta was an inescapable factor in Maltese life at the end of empire.

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).
