The news about Brussels seeking clarification relating to the award of the power station contract in Delimara has quite probably triggered in many the observation that, thank goodness (and first and foremost thanks to the sensibility of the referendum voters) we enjoy membership in the EU.

Apart from substantial economic benefits derivable therefrom, we are blessed with a super-national and multi-national authority supervising our moves to ensure fair play, transparency and justice to all.

This is undoubtedly a vital source of vitamins for strengthening the health and wellbeing of our institutions in addition to presenting a stout bulwark of protection for the frail and the underdog.
