"It was apparent during the meeting that the government is ignoring the most impor- tant of the recommendations made by the Committee of Experts, which government itself appointed," MRI said. Amongst these proposals is the recommendation that journalism be entrenched in the Constitution as a pillar of democracy in that chapter which gives persons the right to claim their rights before a court. "It was also apparent during the meeting that the govern- ment's proposals to protect journalists and activists from SLAPP suits do not even meet the minimum standards re- quired by the European Com- mission's proposed directive on this subject." It added that the Organi- sation for Security and Co- operation in Europe experts had already twice warned the government that its proposals were problematic. "This takes on an even more serious character when one considers that Malta is the Eu- ropean country with the high- est per capita cases of abusive attacks through SLAPP suits, which attacks burden journal- ists further in their work." MRI said that during the meeting, it expressed full sup- port for IGM's work in calling for public consultation. It said that if this did not happen, IGM should no longer form part of the government-ap- pointed committee of experts.
