The
Labour Parliamentary Deputies should not vote in favour of the new European
Union Constitution.
The Labour General Conference, on 9 November 2003, decided that the Labour
Party, even when it is in Opposition, should work unceasingly to overcome all
the negative aspects of the Membership Agreement of Malta with the European
Union, and see that the agreement with the Union shall not be disadvantageous
and damaging to the Maltese people, especially for the workers.
The Constitution of the European Union is renewing the same Membership Agreement
that the Nationalist Government made with the European Union.
Therefore,
according to the decision of the Labour General Conference of 9 November 2003,
the Labour Parliamentary Deputies cannot vote in favour of the Constitution that
renews all the negative, disadvantageous and damaging aspects to the Maltese
people and the workers, of the Membership Agreement.
A vote in favour of the European Union Constitution is a vote in favour of the
Agreement that the Nationalist Government made with the Union.
The new European Union Constitution, while renewing the Membership Agreement of
2003, leaves out the Declaration that the Maltese Government had made with the
Agreement regarding the Neutrality of our country.
If the Labour Parliamentary Deputies vote in favour of the new European Union
Constitution, they will be voting in favour of the removal and burying of the
Declaration on the Neutrality of Malta, from the Union Constitution.
The Labour Parliamentary Deputies in July 2003 voted against the Membership
agreement that the Nationalist Government made with the Union.
If later on this year, the Labour Parliamentary Deputies vote in favour of the
Constitution that renews that Agreement, they will be making a u-turn by
supporting that which they had voted against two years ago in Parliament.
The new European Union Constitution increases the severity of the yoke and
increases the powers that the Union already has over our country.
Due
to this, the Maltese people shall continue to lose from the little strength that
has remained to choose how it is to be led.
Because the new European Union Constitution increases many sectors in which our
country will not be led according to the will of the majority of the Maltese
people expressed democratically in a General Election, but be led according to
the will of the majority of the governments of the European Union member
countries.
When
the Labour Party had sent its representative (the Leader and Deputy Leader) to
the Convention that had to draft the Constitution for the European Union, the
mandate of the Convention was that the European Union gives back to the
Governments of the member countries many of the powers that it had taken from
them.
Instead,
the Constitution that the leaders of the Union member countries agreed upon, not
only changed the draft of the Constitution made by the Convention, but gave
greater powers to the Union, and reduced more powers from the governments of the
member countries.
In 2003, the majority of the people voted in favour of the European Union as it
was then and as still is made up today.
The new Constitution sets up an new European Union changed from what it is
today.
The
Maltese people did not vote in 2003 for the European Union as it is going to be
made by the new Constitution after 2008, if it enters into effect.
The Parliamentary Deputies that do not vote in favour of the new Constitution
will through their action maintain the European Union as it presently is and as
the majority of the Maltese people voted in its favour in 2003.
The 30 Labour Parliamentary members that do not vote in favour of the new
European Union Constitution would be doing as was done by the 232 members of the
European Parliament who on 12 January in Strasbourg did not vote in favour of
the new European Union Constitution.
