Official position of the Maltese government on fisheries transparency

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Permanent Representation of Malta to the EU should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Permanent Representation of Malta to the EU,

Under Malta’s Freedom of Information Act (Act XVI of 2008, amended by Legal Notice 426 of 2012), I kindly request access to any document in your possession on the position of the Maltese government on the amendments proposed by the European Parliament on 10 March 2021 on the EU fisheries control Regulation.

I am specifically interested in the amendments to articles 93 and 113 to of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 - the EU Fisheries Control Regulation, which are currently being discussed in trilogue negotiations between the European Parliament, Council and Commission.

I am requesting documents, including emails and meeting minutes, that include information on the position of the Maltese government on the above.

Given that the trilogue discussions are ongoing, I would appreciate a speedy response to my request.

I remain at your disposal should you need further information.

Yours faithfully,
Martina Tombini
