He has no influence whatsoever now in writing to his ex-fellow members and this could be viewed as interfering .Also why isn't he writing to us to explain his innocence and not to the people who mostly don't care or who cannot do anything about his claims .Lets see the judicial letter he claims he sent to Zammit.

Even as a forced ex-Commissioner, John Dalli is showing a greater committment to the advancement of the Tobacco Directive than the combined efforts of the European Commission and the tobacco lobby!

Here's how others - non-Maltese - are interpreting this whole unfortunate shenanigan: http://www.publicserviceeurope.com/article/2623/commissioner-dallis-resignation-raises-further-questions

John stick to your guns. Genuine Maltese are behind you first because you are Maltese, secondly because you were treated in the most undemocratic way. The way Barroso treated you is a shame on him. He abused of his power and shown that he doesn't know what democracy is; . It is Borroso that should resign not you. I am convinced that Malta will win this case. Democracy? My foot.

That's right John stick to your guns, you are well aware of what you are doing. You have a hard job ahead but your are not the type to give up easily. The VAT saga was proof enough.

Remains to be seen whether he has a y right to have any say at this point will the going on with what he was working on mean money in some pockets?

Joesph Muscat should see to this matter ASAP.....And if he sees that Malta is being bullied by the EU...There will be enough time to propose in the next PL electorial manifesto that Malta should pull out of the EU......

It is not up to Joseph Muscat, or Lawrence Gonzi to sort this out, but it's up to the European commission. As Dr. DeMarco once said, Malta's membership in the EU is not a switch and you cannot just back out whenever you want. With all the money invested in the country, as well as the number of organisations which have invested in the country, it would spell disaster. We would be worse than Greece.

All this saga is all intended to stop this tobacco directive to come in force. So obvious!

I am not at all biased in any way, but strangely enough, I believe this man.
