Otsisin täna uudishimust, mida ühe või teise riigi leheportaalid Eestist/Maltast kirjutavad. Kasutasin otsingus riigi nime ja tulemused said sellised nagu näha allpool. Need on selleaastased artiklid, kus üht või teist riiki mainitud on. Nagu arvata võis, on Eesti eurotsooniga liitumine üks peamised teemasid, millega välismeediasse jõuda.
Postimees Maltast:
* Aasta 2010 popim naisartist on Mia - «On olnud väga edukas aasta,» tõdeb Mia ,«arvestades, et septembris nägi ilmavalgust minu esiklugu, on olnud mitmeid esinemisi Eestimaa eri paikades. Lisaks
Maltal ja Marokos."
* Ilmar Pihlak: olemas on võimalus ohutumalt liigelda - Liiklusohutuse objektiivsel hindamisel kasutatakse kas hukkunute arvu ühe miljoni elaniku või 10 000 mootorsõiduki kohta. Esimese näitaja alusel olid 2009. aasta edukaimad Rootsi, Suurbritannia, Holland, Norra, Saksamaa,
Malta, Iirimaa, Soome, Taani ja Hispaania, kus miljoni elaniku kohta hukkus 37–60 inimest.

Maltal, Prantsusmaal ja Eestis vastavalt 5,5, 0,9 ja 0,7 protsenti.
* Euro peatehnik - Eestile oli muidugi tugevalt abiks, et kogu eurole ülemineku tegevuskava on eelnevalt välja mõeldud ja läbi katsetatud mitmes teises riigis ning enamiku põhipunkte sai lihtsalt lõigata ja kleepida. Nii kalkulaatorid, müntide stardipaketid, ausa hinnastamise lepe kui paljud muud elemendid on toiminud samal viisil Sloveenias,
Maltal, Küprosel ja mujal.
