However, both are very small States, and the question of their participation in the Community institutions would have to be resolved in an appropriate manner in accession negotiations. The Commission will address this question in its opinions on these countries' applications.' The analysis in Part One of this document covers the points raised in the Commission report of 24 June 1992 and in the Maltese Government's memorandum, paying particular attention to the main questions posed by Malta's application Description: Acknowledgement: The University of Malta would like to acknowledge its gratitude to the European Commission for their permission to upload this work on OAR@UoM.
