European Commissioner Tonio Borg will be holding a Citizens' Dialogue this evening at the Phoenicia Hotel in Floriana.

Those present will include Members of the European Parliament, NGO representatives, mayors, local councillors and students.

"After almost 10 years of EU membership, the Maltese have a lot to say to the EU about its future", said Dr Borg, EU Commissioner for Health. "Whilst I am encouraged to see that Maltese people appreciate their place in the EU, I am aware that they have concerns in areas such as migration and the future of the EU. Today's dialogue is a chance to listen to people's views and expectations on European policy issues."

This Citizens' Dialogue in Malta forms part of an event series for the European Year of Citizens. Smaller debates have already taken place across Malta and Gozo in the past weeks  in partnership with the Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee (MEUSAC).

The dialogue will be moderated by Herman Grech (Head of Media, Times of Malta) and will cover areas such as citizens' rights and the future of Europe. It will be held between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The debate can be followed live via web stream. Citizens from all over Europe can also participate via Twitter by using the hashtag #EUDeb8.
