"Question No 53 by Monica Frassoni , which has been taken over by Elisabeth Schroedter ():
On 21 March 2003, the Constitutional Court of Malta, at the request of an injured party, gave a definition of 'residence' (the Cassola Case, Judge Tonio Mallia, Case No 6/2003/1: Harry Vassallo vs the Electoral Commission and John Mary Magro). The definition given by the Malta Constitutional court reads: ‘the word 'residence' does not mean physical presence in the country’.
Moreover, the new law on European elections in Malta, (Act No XVI of 2003, published in the Malta Government Gazette of 26 November 2003) explicitly states that all Maltese citizens living in the 25 EU countries have a right to vote and stand for election in Malta.
Is the Commission aware of the fact that, despite the constitutional definition and the existing legislation on European elections, the Malta Labour Party has again applied to have 1 684 Maltese citizens struck off the electoral register? These court cases will begin to be heard by the Maltese courts in the last week of January, and Maltese employees with the EU institutions are amongst those being targeted.
What does the Commission intend to do against this illegal attempt by the MLP to prevent Maltese citizens taking part in these upcoming European Elections in Malta?"@en1
