ERA Determines Applications: 30 Permits Granted, 1 Dismissed for Environmental and Waste Management Activities

ERA Malta published its determination list for environmental permit applications processed by the Regulatory Affairs Directorate. Of 30 decisions issued, 29 permits were granted covering waste management operations (A1 Construction/Demolition, A2 Road Services, A4 Separated Waste including non-hazardous packaging, D2 WEEE, C2 Animal/Plant/Food Waste, A5 Other Non-Hazardous Waste), environmental activities (biota sampling from wrecks, beach clean-ups, filming, school activities), and an ERA Awards ceremony. One application for tree uprooting and transplanting (EP 1300/23) in Zebbug was dismissed. All GBR-series permits relate to waste management classifications across various Maltese localities.\n\nAffected parties—including waste management operators, film production companies, educational institutions, and environmental contractors—should retrieve their granted permits from the ERA portal or ERIS system and ensure compliance with any post-decision requirements noted by ERA. The dismissed application applicant may wish to review the grounds for refusal and assess whether to reapply or appeal.
