In particular, the study will examine whether Maltese ENGOs have experienced empowerment in the first years following EU accession. This study verifies (1) whether EU accession has effected lobbying of ENGOs; (2) whether EU accession has enhanced the empowerment of ENGOs; and (3) whether EU accession has led to the institutionalisation of ENGOs. This study analyzes the construction of environmental politics in relation to Malta’s EU accession. For this scope, discourse analysis was applied to engage with respondents from ENGOs and with specific case studies involving ENGOs in particular. A major conclusion that can be derived from this thesis is that EU accession has generally enhanced the empowerment of Maltese ENGOs, but this process was uneven, was combined with other overdetermining factors and depended on different issues and on different types of ENGO. ENGOs had greater access to opportunities that were unavailable prior to Malta’s EU accession. The construction or otherwise of hegemonic formations related to the 4 Michael Briguglio (2013): EU Accession and Civil Society Empowerment: The Case of Maltese ENGOs empowerment of ENGOs was related to sensitizing, procedural, structural and substantive impacts. Empowerment through hegemonic formations was not common, but ENGOs were successful in constructing nodal points and in benefitting from different types of impacts, especially sensitizing and procedural ones. Another important conclusion is that even though ENGO empowerment could also be related to their institutionalisation, this process is not pre-determined and does not exclude antagonism of such ENGOs to State structures and other social agents. Besides, the environmental movement remains characterised by both moderate and radical ideologies. 5 Michael Briguglio (2013): EU Accession and Civil Society Empowerment: The Case of Maltese ENGOs Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Joseph Troisi, for his constant advice and support, and for carefully reading and correcting all texts which I have been sending him throughout the years.

    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.

The major corporate projects undertaken in the year under review were related to overseeing the development of: (a) Accrual Accounting; (b) eProcurement; and (c) eArchiving. Other assignments undertaken during the period under review range from the organisational reform of the revenue earning departments within the Ministry of Finance to the activities of the Co-ordinating Task Force for Own Resources. ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING Work is continuing on the introduction of accrual accounting at all ministries and their respective government departments. Accrual accounting will have a major impact on the way the internal financial business of Government will be conducted, particularly in areas of asset management and the management of debtors and creditors. This financial reform process will cross ministerial and departmental organisational boundaries and have a major influence on the departmental processes related to their day-to- day financial administration. Accrual accounting will provide more meaningful financial information that will enhance the quality of the Government's financial decision-making
