Encouraging asylum seekers

Hilary from Fiat Mihi, a potential(!!) applicant for asylum status in Malta is encouraged by the latest European Union directive that grants asylum seekers applying for refugee status access to the labour market within a year of their application:

For our "How to Live in Malta" file...Just a few more until Ash Wed...Sometimes the bad guys work comes out in our favour. Malta has just had a ruling from the EU that says asylum-seekers (that'll be us) must be allowed to look for work within a year of their application as refugees.
Asylum seekers will also keep their right to work if their unsuccessful application for refugee status is appealed, until the appeals process is finalised.
