Reference is made to recent media comments regarding the EU, Ta’ Cenc and environmental organisations.

Though full acknowledgement of Din l-Art Helwa’s contribution concerning the protection of Ta’ Cenc is fitting, explicit recognition of Alternattiva Demokratika’s pivotal role in initially alerting the EU Commission to the issue is likewise warranted.

AD’s key input from the very outset is demonstrably attested to by its petitions section on http://www.adgozo.com/ which has long since empowered Maltese and Gozitan citizens to invoke their rights at EU level and register their objections to various infringements, ranging from Ta’ Cenc to the departure tax – an option that readers are welcome to verify and exercise themselves.
