Former Prime Minister and Maltese MEP Alfred Sant will be the main speaker at a Conference on ‘Malta and Brexit’, following the opening of talks between the UK/EU on UK exit from the EU a few days after the UK snap election saw UK Prime Minister Theresa May lose her majority in Parliament. The Conference will touch various topics related to Brexit.
What are the prospects for the UK and for the EU member states? How will the UK exit from the EU affect Maltese and Gozitan citizens? What impact will it have on the Maltese islands’ economy? And why are EU leading figures fomenting the idea of a Brexit reversal? What does Article 50 contemplate if a country that has already started exit process changes its mind?
Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, said the UK could stay in the EU if the British Government decided to do so. The EU was built on dreams many thought were impossible to achieve, remarked the EC Head. Antonio Tajani, European Parliament President echoed Tusk’s comments and said the UK could remain in the EU, should the UK Government change its mind.
The Conference will be held at Villa Overhills, Birżebbugia at 7pm and will be chaired by journalist Karl Stagno Navarra. The public is being invited to participate in the conference to better understand the challenges facing Malta and Gozo in this particular point of history in the EU. Those who need further information can contact Dr. Sant’s Office on email address [email protected] or phone number 21490705. A reception will follow. Entrance is free.
