Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party reiterated its stance against discrimination to non-Maltese EU citizens who live in Malta.

Prof. Arnold Cassola, AD spokesperson for EU and International Affairs said, “AD expresses its satisfaction that Nationalist MEP, Dr. Simon Busuttil, has followed AD’s lead in ensuring the enforcement of EU civil rights regarding institutional discrimination against 25,000 non-Maltese EU identity card holding citizens in respect of their household water and electricity bills. The European Commission is currently assessing the legality of the terms and conditions imposed by ARMS Ltd. on non-Maltese EU identity card holding citizens in this regard.”

Robert Callus, AD Spokesperson for Citizenship and Migration, said, “AD has received numerous complaints concerning discrimination against non-Maltese EU citizens vis-à-vis Personal banking, Telephony, Internet service provision, Shipping/Owner fees, the Two-tier bus fare scheme, European health insurance cards (EHICs), Licensing fees for ‘foreign’ market property rentals and Defendants’ rights. These issues need to be addressed by the competent authorities.”

Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said, “Non-Maltese EU citizens who live in Malta should not be discriminated against. We shall keep making the necessary pressure in order that such discrimination is stopped. We also insist that Maltese citizens living in other EU member states should be granted full rights in the respective countries.”
