Alternattiva Demokratika chairman Harry Vassallo was elected from among 16 candidates to one of the nine top posts in the European Green Party's committee.

Dr Vassallo was in Helsinki, Finland attending the European Green Party's fourth council meeting.

Dr Vassallo said his election to the committee following the long tenure by Arnold Cassola as secretary general of the European Green Party is a measure of the standing of the Maltese Greens on a European level.

The new committee, which includes representatives of 35 Green parties from 31 countries, will serve until after the European elections in 2009.

It was given a mandate to link all Green parties in a common pan-European effort.
