Racial discrimination reports

The report EU Agency Urges Malta To Step Up Anti-Discrimination Efforts (August 30) refers to the 2006 Report On Racism And Xenophobia In The Member States Of The EU, issued by the Vienna-based European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and available on http://fra.europa.eu.

The report rightly says that the EU agency "is represented in Malta by the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice".

The report's Annex (page 162) says: "The information provided in this report is the product of an ongoing data collection exercise involving the FRA's 27 RAXEN national focal points (NFPs). Each member state has one NFP, which is responsible for collecting data... Each NFP produces a National Data Collection Report and from the information... the thematic chapters of the report are produced by the FRA".

The national focal point for Malta is the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice (JCFJ), Valletta (http://www.jesuit.org.mt). On this Jesuit website I found their RAXEN reports for 2004 and 2005 but not the one for 2006. Would they be so kind as to include the most recent report on their site too?

Furthermore, through Google, I found a message under the heading European Network Against Racism, Malta, from Maria Agius, project coordinator, JCFJ, saying that the JCFJ "has once more been chosen through a tendering process to represent the EU fundamental rights agency". Could FRA kindly inform the public when the tendering process was advertised, in which publication and what is the value of the contract? I am sure this information is already in the public domain but it would make for greater transparency if it were more widely known.
