Maltese MEPs were split on a European Parliament resolution that included clauses acknowledging media reports on how Frontex cooperated with a Libyan militia accused of human rights abuses. MEPs on Thursday voted on several amendments to a resolution concerning the operations of the EU’s border agency. Labour MEPs Josianne Cutajar and Cyrus Engerer were the only two Maltese MEPs present to vote on the resolution and its amendments. MEPs from The Left and Green political groupings proposed amendments in the operative text and recitals of the resolution acknowledging the joint investigation on Frontex, Malta and the Libyan militia. The overall amendments failed to get a majority and were not taken on in the final text of the resolution.
