Alternattiva Demokratika is urging the Maltese government to take a strong stance at this week’s negotiations on new regulations on migration amongst the EU countries’ leaders.

Arnold Cassola, Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party Chairperson, stated: “Prime Minister Gonzi should refer to the recent report adopted by the European parliament and authored by Green MEP Jean Lambert. The report clearly points to the necessity of responsibility sharing by all EU member countries and to a revision of the Dublin regulations, whereby asylum seekers in small territories like Malta could relocate to other EU states whilst waiting for their application to be examined.”

“If the other EU leaders do not agree to responsibility sharing, Prime Minister Gonzi should have absolutely no doubts and should go ahead in vetoing any proposed text,” concluded Prof. Cassola.
