  • HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES Annual Report
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Annual Report 2014 1. HOUSE BUSINESS 1.1 Overview As can be seen from the information contained in this report, 2014 was another busy year for the Maltese House of Representatives and its members. The report of the year’s activities highlights both the traditional legislative and scrutiny parliamentary functions carried out by the House and also the function of parliamentary diplomacy, the role of which is developing steadily from one year to the next, particularly in the field of interparliamentary cooperation in European Union affairs. This year, the House, in a special sitting held on 4 April in the Throne Room of the Grand Master’s Palace, unanimously approved the election of former Minister for the Family and Social Solidarity, Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, as the next President of the Republic of Malta, making her the 11th President to serve the country since Malta became a republic in 1974. This led to the first change in the composition of the House of the year. The second change happened in October when former Minister for Tourism resigned from the House in order to become Malta’s representative in the European Commission. 1.1.1 New initiatives taken by Parliament in 2014 A number of new initiatives were taken by the House in 2014: In addition to the quarterly publication mill-Parlament which was launched at the beginning of the current Legislature, the Office of the Speaker published the first two volumes of Is-Sedja Titkellem, a collection of rulings by the Chair.

DR. GEORGE ABELA [2009-2014] Dr. George Abela was elected President of the Republic of Malta on 4 April 2009 following a Parliamentary resolution, which unanimously approved his nomination as the eighth President of Malta.

He was educated at the Lyceum and the University of Malta where he first obtained his Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, Maltese and History and later on his Law Degree.
