| Abstract: | The following part of the Report will give a brief overview of the policy and legislative structures as related to the environment. The Maltese environmental legislation stems from obligations set out in the Environmental Protection Act of 1991. The Structure Plan & the Development Planning Act 1992 is another important legislative instrument. Moreover, Malta is party to a number of International Conventions and as such has a number of international commitments. It has become increasingly clear that the EPA has certain shortcomings; eg. it does not cover air quality aspects and sustainable waste management. Moreover, parts of the EPA have never been brought into effect. Difficulties have been experienced by the EPD to make certain Government Departments understand, let alone implement, basic environmental policies, including those related to biodiversity conservation. |
