    Questions referred

    1.

    Should the second [subparagraph] of Article 19(1) TEU and Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, read separately or together, be considered to be applicable with respect to the legal validity of Articles 96, 96A and 100 of the Constitution of Malta?

    2.

    If the first question elicits an affirmative answer, should the power of the Prime Minister in the process of the appointment of members of the judiciary in Malta be considered to be in conformity with Article 19(1) TEU and with Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, considered as well in the light of Article 96A of the Constitution, which entered into effect in 2016?
