On 13 November 2005 Malta Media Daily News reported: Professor Joseph Eynaud, course co-ordinator of post-graduate diploma and Masters courses in translationand interpreting at the University of Malta told The Sunday Times that the Maltese must begin to insist on speaking their mother tongue in local fora if its use overseas is to be promoted and strengthened. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of culture, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

The Maltese language was recognized as an EU language when Malta became a member state of the European Union. The status resulted in designated interpreters who work exclusively to translate conference proceedings into Maltese. Eynaud is one of the Maltese people who want to see these interpreters grow in number so that speeches can easily be delivered in the mother tongue thanks to plentiful skilled Maltese interpreters.

Professor Eynaud was reported as saying, 'If we foster Maltese's use at official events here, then our officials will be further encouraged to use it abroad, as our MEPs do in the European Parliament. In this way, we will also encourage more people to choose interpreting as a full-time profession.'

According to the article, it is estimated that eighty translators are needed to cover all EU meetings, and the EU estimates that it needs 135 full-time Maltese translators.

Forty-five students are to graduate in Maltese from the University of Malta at the beginning of December, with a large number planning to take up translation as their occupation.
