Tribute to the late Professor Guido de Marco

Abstract

I should like to pay a tribute to our dear departed friend, Professor Guido de Marco. Like Professor Stephen Calleya, I first met Professor de Marco in 1992 when he addressed a Wilton Park conference on enlargement of the European Union (EU). As may know, Wilton Park ( www.wiltonpark.org.uk ) is an independent higher level international policy forum attached to the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Wilton Park runs most of its 50 annual roundtable conferences at its 16th century modernised house south of London, but it also has convened more than 60 residential conferences in 30 countries around the world, including 4 in Malta, 3 in Turkey and 2 in Egypt.
