(Total: 6 marks) 2.1 Woods came to Malta to estimate the cost of war damage. (1) 2.2 War damage means the estimated cost of buildings destroyed in Malta by the (1) enemy bombings during World War II. 2.3 Accept any three from the following examples: grants to repair damage to (3) government buildings; to improve public utility services; to extend the water supply; for town improvements; for Workman’s Compensation Fund. 2.4 Because the amount of work and expenses involved had to be spread on a (2) considerable number of years. 2.5 A food subsidy is when the government pays for a share of the price of a certain (2) commodity (e.g. bread) to keep its price low for the consumers. 2.6 Accept any three from the following examples or any other valid answer: shortages in housing due to the war bombings; discharges from the dockyard; the need to open mass emigration to ease the problem of a rising unemployment; a (3) revival in political activity following Britain’s intention to grant Malta a new constitution. (Total: 12 marks) 3.1 Source B (1) 3.2 Source C (1) 3.3 George Borg Olivier (1) 3.4 Eddie Fenech Adami (1) 3.5 financial protocols (1) 3.6 Malta’s membership in the European Union (1) History (Option) – Marking Scheme – Year 11 – Secondary – 2017 Page 1 of 4 3.7 Accept any three from the following arguments or any other valid answer: (3) It would be a great disadvantage for Malta to remain outside when most European countries were seeking to join the EU. Malta would be entrenched in a democratic Europe where respect for human rights would have to be respected by all future Maltese Governments. Malta would have a greater share in debates and decisions taken at the European level. This would enhance Malta’s collective sovereignty within a united Europe. Being a member, Malta could still follow a neutral foreign policy as other neutral members like Ireland, Sweden and Austria. Maltese citizens will gain European citizenship and enjoy the same rights and duties of EU citizens. By reducing import controls, the local manufacturing industry would become more efficient. This policy was imposed in the 1970s and 1980s in the form of import substitution to boost Malta-made goods. Malta would be able to increase its export to the EU’s single market and the quota system would be abolished. Farmers would receive financial assistance to modernise their farms for local products. VAT would reduce custom duties and thus reduce better quality goods from the EU. VAT, being a tax on consumption, would increase Government revenue on the principle of ‘who consumes more contributes more’. Malta would be entitled to EU funds that would help improve the infrastructure and the environment. 3.8 Accept any three from the following arguments or any other valid answer: (3) There were countries that refused membership, such as Norway and Iceland, and Malta could do the same. Malta’s democracy has survived since Independence and thus there was no need to join the EU in this regard. Malta’s influence in the EU would be next to nil in a union dominated by the larger European states. Malta would have to change most of its laws to adopt EU ones, rendering Malta’s sovereignty as an independent state. With membership, Malta will lose its neutrality as entrenched in the Constitution. Acquiring European citizenship was not in itself a strong reason for joining the EU. Abolishing the system of import duties would result in less revenue for the Government. Maltese consumers would start buying foreign goods, resulting in greater unemployment. Malta’s fragile and small market was not yet prepared to compete the vast European single market. Local farmers would have to compete with better-organised European farmers. With VAT, there would be a price increase in most goods and services that previously were not taxed. Malta would be invaded by foreigners, namely Sicilians creating problems such as unemployment and higher prices in property. (Total: 12 marks) Page 2 of 4 History (Option) – Marking Scheme – Year 11 – Secondary – 2017 4 Candidates should show knowledge of historical facts and concepts. They should (20) be able to interpret facts in relation to the question and show a sense of empathy. They should also demonstrate good constructive and analytical skills. Whilst correct use of language is expected, spelling mistakes are not to be penalised. 4.1 Students should include in their writing: During WW1, Malta was used as a naval and military base by the Allies. The dockyard played an important role in ship repair and assembling of seaplanes. A number of Maltese volunteered in the Gallipoli Campaign. Malta was used as a hospital for thousands of sick and injured Allied soldiers. After the war, the Maltese experience months of poverty, scarcities of necessities, high prices, lack or work and political unrest which culminated in the Sette Giugno riots. 4.2 Students should include in their writing: Under Dom Mintoff’s government, diplomatic and economic ties were established with Third World countries, Arab states, China and Eastern European states with the aim of reducing Malta’s dependence on the West. Malta joined the Non- Aligned Movement to acquire the financial and diplomatic support of non-aligned states in its bid to establish Malta as a neutral state. Under Eddie Fenech Adami’s government, Malta officially applied to become a member of the EEC. This application was followed by years of negotiations and eventually was sealed by the EU Referendum of 2003. (Total: 20 marks) EUROPEAN HISTORY SECTION 5.2 Examples of possible answers: rivalry between the US and the USSR; the (1) beginning of the Cold War; disagreements on the future of Germany after the war. 5.3 Examples of possible answers: Berlin was divided into two separate zones; Berlin became the symbol of a divided Europe; many East Germans lost their life when (1) trying to escape to West Berlin. 5.4 Examples of possible answers: Solidarity soon turned into a movement of mass protest against the Communist regime in Poland; the Polish Communist (1) government tried to suppress the movement by imprisoning its leaders; it showed the first cracks in the Soviet control over Eastern Europe. 5.5 Examples of possible answers: citizens of East Berlin started crossing freely to West Berlin; East Germany ceased to be an independent state; East Germany (1) was reunited with West Germany; it marked the end of the Cold War in Europe. 5.6 Examples of possible answers: the establishment of the state of Israel; the outbreak of the first Arab-Israeli War of 1948; the assassination of Count (1) Bernardotte, Secretary General of the UN. 5.7 Examples of possible answers: terrorism became an international concern; the US declared war on international terrorism; Al-Qaeda became the most prominent (1) terrorist organiSation; Bin Laden became the most wanted person in recent history. (Total: 6 marks) 6.1 John F. Kennedy, President of the United States (2) 6.2 The source is primary because it is part of a speech broadcasted by Kennedy to (2) the American people. 6.3 Fidel Castro (1) 6.4 During the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. (1) History (Option) – Marking Scheme – Year 11 – Secondary – 2017 Page 3 of 4 6.5 In 1956 the Hungarians chose Imre Nagy as their Prime Minister. Nagy started a (3) series of economic and political reforms which were intended to make Hungary less dependent on the Soviet Union. This provoked the USSR to invade Hungary and restore Soviet control. Nagy was arrested and executed, his reforms were annulled and a Soviet client government was set up in Hungary. 6.6 Here the author is referring to the long struggle between the powers that upheld (2) democracy (i.e. liberty) and the powers that upheld communism (i.e. tyranny). 6.7 Because in 1961 the Soviet Government tried to install nuclear missiles on that (1) island as a threat to the United States.

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).

  • Statement by H.E. Robert Abela, Prime Minister of Malta at the High
    Statement by H.E. Robert Abela, Prime Minister of Malta at the High-level meeting to commemorate the seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations Item 128(a) 21 September 2020 “The future we want, the United Nations we need: reaffirming our collective commitment to multilateralism” Secretary General, President of the General Assembly, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen It is highly significant that at the moment the world is gripped by a global pandemic, we come together through virtual means, to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations. In a matter of weeks, the pandemic manifested itself as the largest global challenge in the history of the United Nations. As the Final Declaration, which we endorse today, rightly states, ‘There is no other global organization with the legitimacy, convening power and normative impact as the United Nations. No other global organization gives hope to so many people for a better world and can deliver the future we want. The urgency for all countries to come together, to fulfill the promise of the nations united, has rarely been greater.’ Mr President, Today, the 21st September, Malta celebrates 56 years of Independence, but what is also noteworthy is that Malta became the 114th member of the United Nations Organisation on the 1st December 1964, only a few weeks after gaining Independence. On the raising of the flag the then Maltese Prime Minister, Dr George Borg Olivier, emphasized Malta’s position between East and West, Europe and Africa, and spoke of Malta’s aspirations for peaceful development. Now that Malta had taken her place among the free nations, the Prime Minister pledged Malta’s contribution towards world peace in that, ‘spirit of heroic determination, in defence of traditional concepts of freedom and civilisation’, which have characterized Malta’s long history.

  • 1974: from Constitutional Monarchy to Republic Ugo Mifsud Bonnici
    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. One remembers that the vote in the Parliament at Westminster was secured at the last possible moment before dissolution and through the benevolence of Labour politician, George Brown, on the Opposition benches.
