TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARY DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM
In the seven years 2007 – 2014 the Maltese and Gozitans are going to pay the European Union €420,000,000
By
Dr Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici
The report of
the Honorable George Vella that makes a political evaluation of the new European
Union Constitution is totally mistaken about Article 6 of that Constitution,
where this Article states that the laws made by the Union are superior to, and
prevail over the Constitution of a Union member country, like Malta.
In the political report it is stated that this is not a new principle for the
European Union member countries.
I am sorry to say that this is a gross mistake.
That which Article 6 of the new European Union Constitution establishes is a new legal principle that is being given the strength of a constitutional legal principle, and is being imposed for the first time on the European Union member countries.
The political report states that the national courts of the European Union
member states accepted what the Union Court of Justice decided in a number of
cases, that is, that the laws that the Union makes are superior to, and prevail
on the laws that the national Parliaments of the EU members make.
But the political report did not distinguish between laws made by the Parliament
of a country and the Constitution of that country.
No national
Court of a Union member country has accepted that a law made by the Union that
did not comply with the Constitution of that country was superior to, and
prevailed on the Constitution of that country.
Therefore the political report is technically mistaken.
I should also
say that it is politically mistaken on this point.
Because even if membership in the European Union implies that a law that the
Union can make overcomes the Constitution of Malta, the Labour Party should
never vote for this to occur, even if it has to submit to it because the
majority had so voted.
The party will allow the implementation of the will of the majority, but this
does not mean that it should vote as is done by the majority, if the party wants
to respect the will of the minority that had voted for it, and if it wants to
remain respected because it had remained steady in its will and principles.
The
declaration on the neutrality of Malta
The
political report is also mistaken about the Declaration on the Neutrality of
Malta that the Government had made with the Membership Treaty of 16 April 2003,
in Athens.
The new European Union Constitution renews that treaty, but leaves out this
declaration on the neutrality of Malta, and the political report states that
this obscene fact does not have and political or legal importance.
I think that the Labour supporters are sorry to read in the political report that the party is being encouraged to accept the new European Union treaty that renews that Membership Treaty of 2003 and leaves out the Declaration on the Neutrality of Malta that was attached with the original Treaty of 2003.
Certainly
politically it is not for Malta’s benefit to see the Declaration that it made
in 2003 to protect its neutrality, be thrown away and deleted with the approval
pf the 2005 new European Union Constitution.
The Labour supporters expect that the party should insist that the neutrality of
Malta should be protected with a protocol that would binding and which would
form part of the new European Union Constitution, and not that the declaration
that there is today be thrown away and nothing is done to take its place.
But
the political report does not care about this.
Neither does the report care that whoever votes in favour of the new European
Union Constitution will be voting for the agreement that the Nationalist
Government made with the European Union, and which the General Conference of the
Labour Party decided on 9 November 2003 that the party shall work to stop all
its negative aspects, and see that the agreement with the European Union shall
not be disadvantageous and damaging like that of 2003.
How can the Labour delegates vote in favour of that disadvantageous and damaging
agreement to the Maltese people, and especially the workers?
