"It is a pleasure to hear statements from the Council and the Commission regarding the Barcelona Process and the proposal for a Union for the Mediterranean. The latter is to be initiated on 13 July in Paris during the French Presidency.
The Government of Malta has issued a position paper on the said statements. I fully agree with the proposals being made regarding the Union for the Mediterranean. As it is important not to duplicate efforts and energies, the suggestion relating to maritime activities is laudable.
Malta has offered to host a secretariat to overview the implementation of such proposals and I fully endorse this offer, not only because of the unique geographical position of the island in the Mediterranean but also because we have the infrastructure, personnel and experience to host such an institute.
To conclude, I would like to mention that, just over thirty years ago, it was a Labour Government that managed to bring world attention to the importance of the Mediterranean and the necessity of collaboration between the countries bordering the Northern and Southern shores of this sea."@en1
