Labour leader Joseph Muscat yesterday nominated George Abela as the representative of the Malta Labour Party on the Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee (Muesac). The MLP spokesman for European affairs, Luciano Busuttil, is Dr Abela's substitute.
Dr Abela said he is looking forward to officially contributing on behalf of the MLP to such an important forum.
Muesac is an initiative taken by the government to review the effects of EU legislation on Malta.
Dr Abela was previously a member of Muesac when Malta was negotiating its EU accession package. He had been appointed by the government.
