Tuesday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 "There was no opposition to the re- forms, but [deputy prime minister] Chris Fearne raised a small issue about appearing to give in to every request made on Malta's state institutions. Even [environment minister] José Her- rera questioned certain legal aspects of the reforms," the source said." Another political source aware of the Prime Minister's EU plans refused to enter into details, insisting that Mus- cat was "totally focussed" on the 2019 MEP elections and "not wasting any time" on a post-May scenario. But the Brussels diplomat said that despite criticism from MEPs and other international NGOs, Muscat remains a highly-respected prime minister among peers as the longest-serving EU leader after Merkel and as a team- builder with leadership skills. "Muscat's chances are also hampered by the socialists' waning polls in the forthcoming elections. The centre- right EPP's victory at the elections will give Manfred Weber the role of Euro- pean Commission president, but the socialists' power to demand an insti- tutional role will also depend on their influence after the May elections." The diplomat says Muscat hopes to woo French President Emanuel Ma- cron, who refused advances to join the European liberals. "The ALDE would prefer someone like Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte for the Council job. He is a strong leader who had to do his own coali- tion-building in the fragmented Dutch landscape. But he has also lost strength at home, after the anti-EU Forum for Democracy party won major gains in the Dutch senate, leaving Rutte with- out majority." The government will table its Venice Commission amendments in parlia- ment tomorrow, on five areas that also include the Ombudsman, positions of trust, permanent secretaries, inde- pendent commissions and the police.
