lpv:translated text	"I wish to inform this House that during this week the Maltese Parliament will be adopting a resolution to ratify the European Constitutional Treaty. By this vote, which is expected to be unanimous, Malta will be aligning itself with the eleven other countries that have already ratified the European Constitution. For Malta, though, the ratification of the European Constitution has a very particular meaning, as this will be the first time that the two major parties in Malta will have joined together in voting the same way on an EU issue. After fifteen years in which Malta has been divided by the issue of the European Union, and by whether or not it should become a member, this week will at last see this division healed as soon as both sides of the Maltese Parliament vote in favour of the European Constitution. In this way the European Constitution means, for Malta, not only a step towards European unity, but also a new chapter of national consensus in Malta about Europe. Thank you."@en1
