In a meeting at Auberge de Castille, Prime Minister Robert Abela and EU Council President-elect António Costa discussed key issues of shared interest for Malta and the European Union.
Dr. Abela emphasised the need for a fair Single Market that supports competitiveness and ensures equal access for all Member States. He highlighted challenges in sectors like pharmaceuticals and freight, stressing that a “one-size-fits-all” approach does not work for all countries.
He called for policies that incentivise innovation and quality growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises, which form the backbone of the economy.
Migration was also discussed, with Dr. Abela advocating for sustainable solutions, including enhanced cooperation with North African countries like Libya. He stressed the importance of effective repatriation processes for those not eligible for asylum, alongside protection for those who qualify.
The leaders also addressed the EU’s role in the Middle East conflict, with Dr. Abela reaffirming Malta’s support for a two-state solution. Regarding Ukraine, he emphasised the need for peace and reconstruction, with Malta contributing through social projects. Dr. Abela also called for stronger transatlantic relations following the U.S. election outcome.
During Costa’s visit, he toured Malta’s International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) and St. John’s Co-Cathedral. Dr. Abela wished him success in leading the European Council, emphasizing strong future cooperation.

Minister for Social Policy and Children’s Rights Michael Falzon has launched an innovative toolkit called VUĊI (Valuing and Understanding Children’s Impact).
This tool is designed to collect data on the impact of children’s participation across sectors, including policies affecting children, adults, and broader decision-making processes.
The toolkit offers a practical framework to evaluate and strengthen children’s participation at both national and international levels. Alongside this launch, the Strategic Vision for Children (2024–2030) was introduced, focusing on safeguarding children’s well-being, rights, and participation while supporting families and enhancing children’s environments.
Announced during a conference on International Children’s Day, the initiative was praised by Marie-Cécile Rouillon, the European Commission’s Coordinator for Children’s Rights. She commended Malta’s progress in empowering youths, citing the voting age of 16 as a notable example of adolescent involvement in national decision-making.
Minister Falzon acknowledged ongoing challenges in ensuring children receive proper care. He emphasized the importance of recent legislative changes that empower professionals to make decisions prioritizing children’s growth in safe and nurturing environments.
