L-Ambaxxatur taghna ghat-Tibdil fil-Klima, Michael Zammit Cutajar, il-bierah gie elett Deputat President ghal 2008 u President ghal 2009 tal-Grupp li se jmexxi n-negozjati tal-United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Din t'hawn hija nota li bghattlu l-bierah:Michael, Allow me to be among the first to congratulate you for being elected as vice-Chair for 2008 and Chair for 2009 of the new negotiating group of the UNFCCC. From a personal perspective I am most certain that you are honoured by such a prestigious appointment. From a national perspective, I cannot emphasise the satisfaction that such an election should bring about on the Maltese community because this continues to reaffirm Malta’s extraordinary contribution to the global fight against climate change.
As the Bali Conference for Heads of States has shown, such negotiations are delicate and intense. In a year’s time, nearing the end of the Kyoto Protocol, such negotiations shall undoubtedly intensify. I must therefore say that yours is a particularly sensitive task that this Government will continue to support. Our confidence in your abilities over the past years has been manifested by this election. Malta, under the Government I am party to, will continue to lead in this important undertaking that faces our next generation and this news is confirmation of this.
Even though you are faced with such a sensitive challenge, I am confident that your credentials will see you overcome the challenges and for an acceptable compromise that should, hopefully result in an agreement at the COP 15 meeting that will be held in Copenhagen, in December 2009.
