Prime Minister Borg Olivier was in earnest, but had to be engaged in political contests on at least three fronts: that with the British Government, that with the Labour Opposition and that with the Opposition offered by the three other non-Labour parties represented in Parliament. On the content and structure of the Independence constitution he had to produce a draft document acceptable to the United Kingdom Government, because the Independence Act would have to emanate from there, and acceptable also to the three minor parties, who would be expected to add their votes for the approval of the Statute by our Parliament. The Labour Opposition had to be utilised as the component of the Maltese electorate that could seal the question as to whether Independence should happen immediately, but if the famous six points which contained their objections were to be received, that would lose the consent of the three other parties, and a substantial part of the Nationalist Electorate.

Abstract: In this final chapter the author would like to thank Professor Frendo and the members of the panel for providing a context to the historical events that were planned to commemorate through the issuance of five two-euro coins between this year and 2014. Their erudite presentations have enriched our knowledge about a very important phase in Malta 's millennia! History during which our ancestors took decisive steps to assert their commitment to the principles of democratic governance, culminating in Statehood as an independent republic. The author also thanks his colleagues, led by the Director of Financial ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ, who not only worked tirelessly to prepare this symposium, but who were also developing a new line of business for the Bank in the shape of a profit centre for the sale of numismatic products. This activity is intrinsically linked to one of the Bank's main functions, namely its responsibility for the issue and management of the nation's currency.
