ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ACT (Cap. 549), Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2017

This regulation establishes the framework for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) in Malta. It ensures that the potential environmental effects of large-scale projects are identified and evaluated before permission is granted, helping to prevent ecological damage and promote sustainable development. This affects developers, construction companies, and public authorities involved in infrastructure projects. It requires specific screening and assessment processes to ensure projects comply with environmental protection standards.
