Origin

2022 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 2, fourth sentence, replace the words "a comprehensive and holistic reform of Malta’s democratic institutions and system of checks and balances is still urgently needed", with the following words:

"the comprehensive and holistic reform of Malta's democratic institutions and system of checks and balances is to remain a priority"

Explanatory note

Government has already begun to implement a number of wide-reaching and unprecedented reforms with the aim of strengthening Malta's democratic institutions and good governance, as recently confirmed by the Financial Action Task Force, and this commitment should be reflected in the text of the resolution.
