Allow me to elaborate on the first point in the article "Reactions to code on use of Maltese" (June 25).
I was reported to have said that "The Akkademja tal-Malti should be given legal recognition", a comment which has to be seen in the light of all recent developments, mainly the proposed structure by the official Board of Maltese, a structure which gained the approval of all concerned including the Akkademja.
The proposed structure gives a lot of importance to the Akkademja and once it is approved and passed through the formal stages of the law, then the Akkademja and any other institution implied would have more "legal recognition". At this point the Akkademja is insisting with the authorities to pass through all the necessary stages the Maltese board's proposed structure.
