RCC's resignation letter published
Richard Cachia Caruana.
The following is the resignation letter tendered this evening by Richard Cachia Caruana after an Opposition motion against him was approved in Parliament. The letter was published by the Prime Minister, who accepted Mr Cachia Caruana's resignation but asked him to stay on until he could be replaced:
Prime Minister
By means of this letter, I am tendering my resignation as Malta’s Permanent Representative to the European Union.
I have long believed that a person who becomes an issue becomes a liability, no matter the extent of their positive contribution or the truth or otherwise of the accusations against them, or the motivation for those accusations. It is because of this long-held view that, as you know, it was my wish to resign immediately the Opposition motion against me was brought before parliament, but the imperative towards duty compelled me to stay as long as required to answer questions from Parliament’s Foreign and European Affairs Committee.
Since 2004, I have served Malta loyally as its first Permanent Representative to the European Union. I have always represented our nation’s interests with the utmost dedication. Whether I have served my country well is ultimately for others to decide.
It is unfortunate that the outcome of this motion was at the outset predicated on a collusion of interests that are, ultimately, personal and which had little or nothing to do with the contents of the motion itself. This was immediately apparent from the line of questioning taken during sittings of the parliamentary committee, and most especially from one or two speeches in parliament this evening. I realise that it was a fait accompli, with the outcome assured even before the motion was presented.
My decades of work in politics and related fields have taught me that it is naive to assume that the principles of correctness and decency will not, occasionally, be corrupted. While righteousness will, ultimately, prevail, it does not necessarily do so in the short term, to order, or in ways that may be immediately evident.
While I remain at your disposal , in the circumstances it is my wish that you will accept this resignation.
Yours sincerely
Richard Cachia Caruana

Richard has done sterling work and we should all acknowledge it irrespective of political colour.When are we going to grow up and call a spade a spade?How can we ever get close to each other when at every chance we try to strangle each other.We seem to be ruled by hatred.If someone has worked for the benefit of the country,like RCC let us be grateful.Today it's him,tomorrow it may be someone from the opposing party.Good luck to them.

How sad to see that such a brilliant servant of the state has to leave. Malta gained so much thanks to this man's thoroughbred genius. Mr Cachia Caruana will be able to have a well deserved rest from public office and hopefully will still consult government as his train of thought is possibly the finest Malta has ever seen. This man was behind Eddie Fenech Adami's European dream and some fool who knows little or nothing about international politics votes him out! Of course Labour look all the more silly once again and cannot help but shoot themselves in the foot so soon after their Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici blunder. Labour will never change and rather then being smart in these delicate matters they continue to show their true colours. Keep it up Joseph! Chapeau Richard Cachia Caruana! Ad multos annos.

Not referring to this or any particular case, I am one of those who are always astounded, when I hear anyone connected with politics who claim that they sacrificed their lives to make the country a better place to live in, when the same people get paid exaggerated salaries and perks for this "sacrifice".
Sacrifice should be a word used to describe unpaid volunteer work and not positions afforded to an individual because of his political connections!
Kevin Wain
Jun 19th 2012, 09:19
Mr. Micallef, I cannot see your point on this. Yes, I agree with you that these people are paid very well, but there is a price in them taking up these kinds of jobs. The hard work and responsibilities that these people go through is incredible and, no money could compensate for the sacrifices that they endure in their job. Imagine anyone, could be someone working in a private company that pay their employee well, who works from seven in the morning till ten at night. S/he might get an incredibly high pay, but does money every compensate for the lack of free time that this person might have? Not to mention the responsibilties? People work hard and, are paid for their sacrifices. Is there anything wrong about that?
Charles Micallef
Jun 19th 2012, 10:09
Kevin Wain,
You are so misinformed, yes there are a lot of people working for private companies who work very long hours and some work over seven days a week, with the difference being that when they under perform, they are relieved from their duties and they will not go out and seek the press for publicity that politicians do when they are made to resign.... they simply move on!!!
Politicians volunteer their positions in the knowledge that if they get elected they will be justly rewarded.
Jessica Smith
Jun 19th 2012, 10:33
Kevin Wain they are all supposed to be the peoples servants, yet they are paid vast amounts which no other worker is able to get apart from other workers being kicked out unceremoniously if they do not deliver or act behind their employer's back, their employer being the people in these cases.
Kevin Wain
Jun 19th 2012, 10:44
I might disagree with you on this one, but I cannot see where I am misinformed and, I will tell you why. It is true that people working in private companies do not feature in the media or, rather do not use the media for publicity when they are demised for underperforming in their job. The thing is that although there are similarities between private enterprise and political position (that hard work in a must in both), this doesn't mean that they are the same in everything or identical in any way. Press enters the equation in political positions, because it our business to know about their procedings and, the media is a way for us to do so. What happens in private companies may not be our business because their proceedings do not affect us, the public in any way. I also believe that a political person who believes that s/he is in the right, should have the right to prove his/her innocence in public. Why should the public have an opinion on an individual without first allowing him/her the right to make his/her case?
Charles Micallef
Jun 19th 2012, 11:38
@ Kevin Wain
We have to agree to disagree on this issue, however I take your last comment 'Why should the public have an opinion on an individual without first allowing him/her the right to make his/her case"
Are you specifically referring to RCC's case? as if you are you must be aware that he was given more than just the opportunity to speak out, but also had a substantially number of seasoned lawyers in the guise of MP's defending his case!!
Marija Falzon
Jun 19th 2012, 08:38

you were in parliament when around you there were members of parliament who sent their watch dogs gnashing at us cos we protested at school when we had no teachers for 3 months. You were in parliament when we could not even mention the name NAZZJON ! You were in parliament when i had to learn Arabic compulsorily instead of some other more useful language. You were in parliament when we were attacked in corner meetings by the bully minister.
Is this the democracy you mention in your blogs ?

Our Parliament is no longer an institution worthy for its cause. It has become the ping pong of personal agendas and I do hope we do get to work fast on constitutional changes which will not allow our highest institution run by individuals. Truly no party would want to be held ransom by a one man show . Changes should include that the Party or Movement obtaining a majority no 1 votes should be accredited minimally five extra seats in the house. So get the ball rolling and let s place country before our personal interests.

Joe Grech
Jun 19th 2012, 01:45
Are we supposed to cry?
I personally believe that:
RCC - in fact nobody should ever be appointed Malta's ''permanent'' representative to Brussels or wherever;
Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami should not have appointed him - such appointment should have been a parliamentary one. If memory serves me right such was not the case but I stand to be corrected on this point;
What special qualifications does RCC have to carry out such diplomatic work?
Another big mistake came about when RCC was allowed to attend parliamentary and Cabinet meetings;
RCC became too big for his own boots - I think that what JPO and others complain about him - political intrigue; use of media correspondents to attack selected persons is true. RCC ran the show and not the administration's top people.
I also think that RCC did not manage the PfP affair that angelically. He did work behing the back of parliament. Parliament has now rightly put him in his place.
He deserved the fall. Most Maltese do not even know who he is; how come he rose to such heights......
Mr David Ganado
Jun 19th 2012, 09:02
Dear Mr. Grech. The main representative of every country to the EU is called the Permanent Representative, so check your facts before blurting them out. RCC's replacement will still be the Permanent Representative of Malta to the EU. If the EU was a country he would be the Ambassador - same thing, different name.
Also, by what criteria should the appointment be made by parliament? Are any ambassadors appointed by parliament? No.
The bottom line is, there is no one else in both the Nationalist and Labour camps who could have done the job RCC did to get us the accession conditions we got when joining the EU. How come he rose to such heights you say? Because he worked his Ass off for it and did not have to ask for hand outs and favours like you lot expect to do.
Labour once again missed the wood for the trees in attacking the messenger to get at the government. As for JPO, Mugliette et al, they are just bitter back-stabbers who cant take things not going their way.

Irrespective of everything, RCC has given a lot to Malta, and in turn Malta has gained tremendously. RCC is a highly respected figure at the higher circles of the EU. Perhaps many will rejoice at the thought that the PL has managed to bring down RCC in such a cowardly way; however the country has lost a true diplomat. Time will say...
M Grima
Jun 19th 2012, 00:26
Dr. Gonzi looked so worried during the press conference. He was worried because he needs to explain to his EU friends in Brussels that in a matter of weeks his government was defeated on two motions. He was worried because he leads a disjointed team or rather his leadership qualities have deserted him. His 'par idejn sodi' have suddenly been replaced by a pair of old shaking hands who drop everything he touches. Time to call it a day and reduce the embarrassment.

Although RCC was a competent civil servant (not like ex-Minister Mifsud Bonnici) how demeaning and what a humiliation to resign in these circumstances. Surely his colleagues in Brussels will be aghast and RCC embarrassed. I feel pity for him to be rewarded this way for his long service but unfrotunately he made to many enemies. In 15 days the Government had 2 resignations - never happened before in our political history. Surely there is something really wrong with the Government.

The writing was on the wall as soon as it became 'GonziPN' - when the party and the leader became one.
