which do you want first

the good news
our reader may remember a post a couple of months ago alerting them to the licensing of the vulture/raptor killed drug diclofenac for use in Europe.  following quite a widespread outcry its use has now been referred to the European medicines agency with the potential for a ban to be in place by the end of this month.
the bad news
in the same post I highlighted issues around the killing of migrant birds in malta. so it comes as a bit of a shock to learn that the likely next European commissioner for the environment is a maltese MP.
