The Malta Book Festival their transition into the world of online retail had to also be held online, leading to further and tap into as many online sales as possible. decreases in book sales. The process to collect accurate data was delayed a number of years ago because several publishers opposed the format of the data they had to present. Eventually, Executive Chairman Mark Camilleri a formula acceptable to all was found and the gathering of statistics will now start. The National Book Council addressed the crisis in the book industry with a triple- pronged strategy. The aims were to provide publishers with a lifeline and offset the loss of sales from bricks-and-mortar. First and foremost, we ramped up online advertising campaigns to encourage customers to buy books from local publishers online. Additionally, we initiated emergency book purchases from local publishers, donated these books to public libraries and promoted the use of public libraries in accordance with public health regulations. Last but not least, we shifted the Malta Book Festival school-voucher system online via all publishers’ retail websites in order to effectively help accelerate the transition to online retail. 6 Unfortunately, the book industry in Malta is at the end of the year.

News from PHOTO: BONGARTS Footballer migration 08 member associations 17 unitededitorial against racism! The proliferation of international transfers and, in particular, of intercontinental transfers can have the positive effect of giving supporters the opportunity to get to know something about people from another culture and perhaps also of another colour. This, combined with the development of home-grown players from minority communities, has helped to produce a multicultural mix in the world of football. In many instances this has helped to challenge prejudice and improve understanding. However, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, racist incidents still frequently rear their ugly heads in the form of banners or crowd behaviour, abuse of players and insults hurled by players on the field. UEFA has been making a determined effort to eradicate racism for a long while, through disciplinary sanctions, by initia- tives such as our ten-point plan of action, launched at the end of last year, and by offering financial support to the FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) organisation. UEFA realises that its action against this scourge of society is only one part of the picture, which is why we are pushing for a con- certed effort on the part of all those concerned.
