| Abstract: | With a population of 404,000 and an area of 315 km2, Malta is the EU's smallest member. Its population is also the EU's densest, reflecting a history of periods of relative importance and prosperity linked to its ports and mid-Mediterranean position. 'There is too much charity in Malta', remarked Royal Commissioner Sir Penrose Julyan (1880), a British nineteenth-century liberal, criticizing the Maltese free medical and apothecary service that had existed before 1450. |
