The objectives of the workshop were to discuss the methodology of indicator construction and to propose ways in which an economic resilience index can be constructed with the aim of (a) supporting decision-making relating to resilience building to enable small states to withstand their inherent economic vulnerability and (b) setting targets, monitoring developments and establishing good practice benchmarks with regard to resilience building. Another aim of the workshop was to issue a statement on the need for economic resilience building in small states. 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/15931 Title: Reaping the benefits of EU membership Abstract: The Maltese Islands became members of the European Union just over two years ago. The country has gone through dramatic changes, not all easily visible, with many slowly transforming the way we Maltese think and operate. In recent months, the materialisation of projects funded through European Union funds is starting to be seen and felt, not least in Gozo where projects and initiatives of different kinds are today very noticeable. 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/15930 Title: Ramla Bay - an ecological gem with an economic contribution Abstract: Ramla Bay is one of the last unspoilt sandy beaches on our islands. It is the venue for thousands of visitors, especially during the summer months between July and September. Visitors to this beach put a high value on assets which do not have a market price such as the clean water, sandy beach, practically untouched natural surroundings, and ideal sun worshipping conditions. 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/15918 Title: Nicoline Sagona - Gozitan artist Abstract: This article discusses the artistic career of Nicoline Sagona. 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z
