Indeed, a very quick glimpse at the Contents reveals that this Edition of ID-DRITT contains a record number of various contributions. This Editorship's goal to include at least one article written by a foreign author who is an authority in his particular field, has been realized once again.

Abstract: As Malta is bracing herself up for the membership of the European Community it seems timely to reflect upon the effects of the membership on the national legal systems. Politicians and economists face a challenge of this new venture in their own fields but lawyers, apart from the challenge, have to prepare themselves for a mighty shock to the national system. The waves of this shock will reverberate throughout the whole system for membership means more than a new political alignment or adjustments of economic policy or trade rules. It is so because the EC is a '' new legal order in International Law embracing not only the member states but also their citizens" (Case 26 / 62: Van Gcnd v Nederlandse Administratie der Belastingen (1963) ECR 1 at 29). It has been established by law and it is governed by law, hence the tendency towards a legalistic bureaucracy in the management of its affairs.

It began as a practice and eventually became a legal status embodied in international legal instruments and recognized by the international community. Malta's neutrality is due to rather recent development and is based on a policy decision later embodied in an agreement with Italy and a constitutional provision. It owes as much to the ideas of non-alignment as to the concept of perpetual neutrality in a precise legal sense. There may thus be some advantage in relating the Swiss experience in order to ace what lessons Malta may be able to draw from it as regards her own external policies.
