GRTU
National Executive Council on Wednesday passed a resolution of thanks to
Richard Cachia Caruana, former Ambassador of Malta to the EU, for the great performance
he did on behalf of Malta in the first eight crucial years as Malta's first representative
in Brussels and for the excellent work he had also previously done as Malta's
chief negotiator for accession to the EU. Malta in the EU owes a lot to Richard
Cachia Caruana.
GRTU
had an excellent working relationship with Mr Cachia Caruana in his role as
Malta's representative. A relationship that has been further strengthened since
Vince Farrugia, Director General of GRTU Malta Chamber of SME's took up his
role in representation of Maltese Employers at the European Economic and Social
Committee (EESC), in Brussels.
GRTU
National Executive Council also expressed its great satisfaction at Marlene
Bonnici's elevation to Malta's Representative in Brussels. GRTU warmly welcomes
Marlene Bonnici to her new highly important role and extends on behalf of all
GRTU members its congratulations. All at GRTU are convinced that under MsBonnici's
guidance Malta's interests will remain well guarded and Malta will continue to
preserve the high reputation for professionalism that our representation in
Brussels in the various EU institutions has acquired since Malta's accession to
the EU. GRTU also expresses its
gratitude to MsBonnici for the excellent work she performed as the first Head
of the Planning and Priorities Coordination Division with overall responsibility
for EU funding to Malta and also recently in her role as Permanent Secretary on
EU Funds within OPM. GRTU looks forward to a renewed happy relationship with
MsBonnici.
