Following that examination the Council: - notes with satisfaction that the abovementioned programme of priority economic reforms has, in the main, been implemented on schedule and that this represents a major step towards aligning Maltese economic structures on those of the Community; - shares the Commission's view that it is important to continue to monitor Malta's implementation of the reforms needed to prepare its economy for accession to the European Union; - therefore invites the Commission to keep it regularly informed of the progress made and the impact of the reforms on the Maltese economy; - notes that the Commission intends to examine this impact in more depth over the next few months, with a view to submitting specific proposa ...[+++]ls to the Council for the establishment of a pre-accession strategy which will consolidate the Maltese government's achievements to date and help it to continue to strive for even greater harmonization of its legislation and practices with the acquis communautaire; - intends to adopt these proposals in time for the next Association Council meeting with Malta, with the inclusion of a structured dialogue, the procedures for which will be defined in accordance with the Annex hereto; - recalls the Maltese government's undertaking to assume all obligations arising out of the Maastricht Treaty, including those concerning the CFSP, and considers that Malta's situation will need to be clarified as regards the incorporation of all of those obligations into its national law; - considers that in matters of justice and home affairs Malta's situation departs from prevailing European Union practice, in particular as regards visa policy and the ratification of the relevant international conventions; - stresses in this connection that accession to the European Union implies full acceptance by the acceding State of the actual and potential rights and obligations inherent in the Community system and its institutional framework as obtaining at t ...
