    MALTA:A PROFILE

    Malta comprises an archipelago of five islands: the island of Malta is thelargest, followed by Gozo, Comino, Cominotto and Filfla. The latter two areuninhabited islets. The Maltese Islands are situated in the CentralMediterranean Sea, 93 kilometres south of Sicily and 290 kilometres north ofLibya.

    The climate is a Mediterranean one characterised by hot, dry summers andcool winters with an annual average rainfall of nearly 476 millimetres.Temperatures are stable, the annual mean being 19C and monthly averages

    ranging from 15C to about 31C in the summer months. Winds blowfrequently over Malta. The most prevalent are the cool northwesterly known inthe vernacular as il-majjistral, the dry northeasterly called il-grigal, and the hotsoutheasterly called ix-xlokk.

    Malta gained independence from Britain on 21 September 1964 when it alsojoined the Commonwealth. The country became a Republic on 13 December1974. Its form of government is one legislative house, il-Kamra tad-Deputati,elected by Universal Suffrage for a term of five years.

    The Maltese economy progressed from one harnessed to the needs of theBritish colonial administration up to the mid-1960s, to a market-driveneconomy with an emphasis on higher value added economic activities inservices, notably financial services and tourism. Challenges to the Islandseconomy are the relatively small domestic market and the disadvantagesbrought about by insularity. Major assets are a pleasant and attractive climate,and a qualified, skilled and hard-working labour force.

    The Maltese people have evolved through centuries of domination by Arab,Norman, European and English administrators. An important legacy, evidentespecially in Maltese architectural heritage and culture, is the one bequeathedby the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, who ruledthe Islands from 1530 to 1798. The Knights era is evoked especially in thewalled cities of Malta, among which is Valletta, a living exposition of Baroquearchitecture. In spite of, or perhaps because of, these diverse influences, thepeople have retained their Malteseness, manifested in a rich array of folkfestivals, village feasts, religious ceremonies and pageants such as thoseorganised in the Easter period. These pageants feature events and characters

    from the Bible, and are a mixture of devotion and love of worldly celebration.

    The people themselves have a warm and hospitable disposition, but alsoexhibit the hardihood and strong survival instincts of an island race.

    The island of Gozo bears a number of similarities to Malta, but alsoconsiderable diversity. In view of this, the Island is currently being promotedas an eco-island because it is more scenic, greener and quieter than themainland. Gozo comprises a land area of 67 square kilometres, and aresident population of approximately 31,000. Gozitans have a very distinctiveset of characteristics which include lifestyle, language intonations, folklore, aswell as a robust tradition of cottage industries.

    For such a relatively small population and land area, Malta and Gozo teemwith cultural events. Carnival dates back to at least the middle of the 15th

    Century and combines Maltese time-honoured traditions with contemporarydance and popular culture. The Notte Bianca or Lejl Imdawwal is organisedevery year, showcasing the auberges, palaces, churches, museums and thearts in Valletta among the Maltese people and visitors to the country. Itscounterpart across the Channel is Notte Gozitana. Valletta, Maltas capital city,has been named European Capital of Culture for 2018.

    E. coli Intestinal Enterococci

    Zone D (Gozo and Comino)

    Notes: (1) E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. Although these bacteria normally live in the intestines they can survive quite

    well outside the body in faecally-contaminated environments such as water or mud.

    E. coli Intestinal Enterococci

    (2) The Intestinal Enterococci group can be used as an index of faecal pollution. This group survives longer in water

    environments than E. coli, and is more resistant to drying and to chlorination. Intestinal Enterococci have also been used to

    test water quality after repairs to water systems or the installation of new water mains.

    Table 34. Gross Domestic Product per capita

    in Purchasing Power Standards1

    (EU27=100)3

    1PPS is the artificial common reference currency unit used in the EU to express the volume of economic aggregates for the purpose of spatial

    comparisons - the basic figures are expressed in PPS, i.e a common currency that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries allowing

    volume comparisons between countries

    3This is the volume index of GDP per capita in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS); it should be noted that this indicator has been rescaled i.e. data is

    now expressed in relation to the European Union average set to equal 100 (EU27=100). The per capita volume index represents the real volume of GDP

    in per capita terms in relation to the European Union (EU27) average set equal 100

    CountryGDP per head in PPS

    2

    2GDP in terms of current prices, expressed in millions of PPS (Purchasing Power Standards). Expressing GDP in PPS (Purchasing Power Standards)

    eliminates differences in price levels between countries, and calculations on a per head basis allows for the comparison of economies significantly

    different in absolute size
