The Speaker of the House, Louis Galea, is expected to be Malta's nominee for the European Court of Auditors, informed sources said this evening.

He will be succeeding Prof Josef Bonnici.

The appointment will mark the end of Dr Galea, political career, which saw him serving as Minister of Social Policy, Home Affairs and Education after having been PN General Secretary. He failed to win re-election at the last general election and was appointed Speaker.

Dr Galea had been tipped for a return to the Cabinet should he have opted to stand for the casual election to succeed John Dalli, who will step down this month to become European Commissioner.

More details in The Sunday Times tomorrow.
