Malta's government hopes that Malta can become Europe's "Singapore" - a high-tech, industrially advanced island country. The current ruling Maltese National Party government came to power, embarked on the economic structure of Malta to adjust. Since January 1, 1999, the Maltese government formally abolished the former government's customs and excise tax system, the resumption of value-added tax, the establishment of the minimum tax rebate standards for various industries, the privatization of state-owned enterprises; expanding the investment in infrastructure; to strengthen the development of industry, tourism, finance, finance and other sectors; to increase the attraction of foreign investment, and to strengthen the cooperation with foreign enterprises.
At the same time, since 1990, Malta has been applying for full membership of the European Union (EU), and on May 1, 2004, Malta formally acceded to the EU after a resolution was passed at the national elections.

********************************************************** **********
On May 1, Malta officially became a member of the European Union. For this Mediterranean island nation with a population of 380,000, accession to the EU brings opportunities for Malta's economic and social development as well as a number of challenges. Malta is a resource-poor country. The inherent lack of resources forces Malta to rely on the international market and take the road of outward-oriented economic development. Due to geographical and historical reasons, the European Union has always been Malta's most important trading partner, and the trade volume with the EU accounts for about 70% of Malta's total foreign trade. Accession to the EU is undoubtedly conducive to the expansion of Malta's economic cooperation with other EU member states.
Secondly, accession to the EU will also highlight Malta's special role as a "trade hub" in the Mediterranean region. For a long time, Malta and North Africa's Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Libya have maintained good economic and trade relations. As a link between Europe and North Africa, Malta's accession to the European Union and North African countries in the close economic and trade exchanges at the same time, will also drive Malta's own economic development. Again, accession to the EU will promote the development of Malta's tourism industry. Malta is a world-famous tourist destination, and tourism is one of the pillar industries of Malta. According to statistics, Malta has 147,000 tourism employees, and the income from tourism accounts for 25% of its GDP. In the long run, accession to the EU means realizing the free flow of goods, capital, personnel and labor within the EU, which will undoubtedly give Malta's tourism industry to provide new development opportunities.
In addition to this, Malta will be able to take advantage of the EU's Structural Aid Funds for newly acceded members to improve the country's infrastructure, such as highways, and create the conditions for attracting foreign investment; and the EU's measures on environmental protection and pollution control will also prompt Malta to take concrete action on environmental protection. In addition, accession would help Malta to effectively address the social problems caused by illegal immigration. Malta was close to the coast of northern Africa and was often infested by illegal immigrants from North African countries. The arrival of large numbers of illegal immigrants caused serious social problems in Malta. After accession to the EU, Malta will be able to take full advantage of the relevant EU legislation to ****tackle illegal immigration.
However, accession to the EU is a "double-edged sword" and Malta is facing new challenges while embracing the opportunities. First of all, Malta's fiscal deficit has remained high for a long time, and it will undoubtedly face great pressure from the EU to narrow it. Although the Maltese government has adjusted its economic policy and structure in recent years, and implemented reform measures in the fields of finance, finance, taxation, education and healthcare, the fiscal deficit and the size of the national debt are still far from the requirements of the EU. According to statistics, Malta's fiscal deficit last year accounted for 9.7% of GDP, much higher than the average level of 2.6% of the original 15 member states of the EU. In addition, the proportion of national debt to GDP is also as high as 72 percent, the highest among the 10 new member states.
Secondly, the competitiveness of Maltese enterprises will also face serious challenges. Malta has a shortage of skilled personnel, and the majority of processing enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs account for 99 percent of the country's enterprises and absorb 60 percent of the country's private sector workers. Due to size constraints and low technological content, it is difficult for Maltese domestic enterprises to compete with the more technologically advanced enterprises of older EU members. In addition, Malta's state-owned enterprises have long relied on government funding, a high degree of protection, how to promote the privatization of state-owned enterprises is also a major challenge.
To meet the challenge, the new Maltese government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, is seeking to privatize the country's state-owned enterprises. Gonzi as prime minister of Malta's new government officially took office at the end of March this year, to some key sectors of the drastic reform. The new government has made the promotion of foreign investment and the acceleration of privatization of state-owned enterprises a priority of the government's work, as well as encouraging and supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises with preferential policies.

After the war, the Military Council raised funds and with a team of nearly 100 men, reorganized all the books and re-established a library which is still called the University of Malta Library. Soon the address of the library was officially moved from Christ Church to the campus of the University of Malta, then in Valletta, and in 1954 the British reclassified the single military and ecclesiastical book in the library. and labeled with index tags, at the same time the British colonialists hijacked the management of the library and increased its book categories to a great extent.
Since then, the University of Malta Library has been filled with a comprehensive range of books and materials in the natural and social sciences, such as science, nature and law. In 1967, with the relocation of the new University premises, the University of Malta Library was also moved from the capital city of Valletta to the new University campus at msida, and since then all the historical resources have been lying collectively in that 4-storey library until now.
The library covers a total area of 5,000 - 6,000 square meters, with a total book capacity of 600,000 volumes, and in 1992, the library adopted a computerized book search function. Making it a library with advanced technology in the world.
