Animal holding units such as farms, stables, kennels and slaughterhouses fall within the remit of the Environment & Resources Authority (ERA) vis-à-vis waste management of manure and other animal by-products. In accordance with regulation 42 of the S.L 549.45, the Waste Management (Activity Registration) Regulations, animal holding units must be in compliance with a number of requirements. These same requirements can also be found within conditions in the approved General Binding Rules issued by the ERA and any other relevant permits.

The keeping of animals and waste management of farms has to follow the guidelines listed in the Code of Good Agricultural Practice as published by the Agricultural Directorate.

The Compliance and Enforcement Directorate, carries out inspections both as part of pre-permit inspections as well as compliance inspections, the latter which usually arise from various sources, such as sporadic inspections, complaints, etc. In the event that non-compliances are present on site, the Authority may proceed to take enforcement actions, as deemed necessary. The following is a non-exhaustive list of aspects which are verified by ERA officials for compliance purposes:

Permitting Requirements – Verification that operators are complying with their permit requirements from an environmental perspective.
Manure Clamps – These must be of sufficient volume to contain the solid manure. No manure produced by the establishment is to be spread on land between the 15th of October and 15th of March and thus should be contained within the manure clamp. They should also be constructed of an impervious material/flooring and consist of a number of ventilation ports. Overspilling of manure from the manure clamp is prohibited.
Settling Tanks and Cesspits – Settling tanks and cesspits that enclose manure generated by the animal holding units must be separate to those that lead to the main drain. The farm operators are required to separate the solid and liquid components of the sludgy manure within the settling tanks. The cesspit should only contain purified water, which is later collected by authorised bowsers that discard it at any facility that is authorised to treat such material. Some farms are allowed to hold a separator and macerator as an alternative method of waste separation.

Solid manure can be used as fertiliser, between the 16th of March and 14th of October by the operators themselves, sold to arable and other farmers, or else, disposed of at a waste management facility that can treat the organic fraction resulting from such manure. Any transportation of waste must be done via authorised vehicles in possession of a consignment permit. Moreover, operators must keep record of the final destination.

The management of manure depends on the type of farm. Farms that fall within the remit of the ERA include, amongst others, cattle farms, sheep farms, broiler farms, layer farms and pig farms.

Shipments of Waste are regulated by Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste [so-called Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR)]. This regulation, which covers shipments of all types of waste, includes waste destined for recovery where a useful secondary source of raw material from the waste could be recovered, as well as waste destined for disposal.

In order to implement article 37(2) of the WSR, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 of 29 November 2007, concerning the export for recovery of certain waste listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council to certain countries to which the OECD Decision on the control of transboundary movements of wastes does not apply. Periodically, the Commission amends Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 as regards the procedures to be followed for export of waste to certain countries.

The Environment and Resources Authority, is the Competent Authority for the implementation of the WSR.

Exports to Malaysia

Exports of plastic waste to Malaysia under Basel Code B3011, a ‘pre-loading inspection report’ is required. This report must be prepared by a third-party inspection body (a list of monitory services can be accessed here). Prior to shipment, a signed copy of the report shall be submitted to the competent Authority in Malaysia ([email protected]) and the ERA on ([email protected]). Please note that contamination level shall not exceed 2% for Malaysia to accept the shipment.

Waste Shipment Inspection Plan for the Maltese Islands

The Waste Shipments Inspection plan, emanates from the legal obligations of Regulation (EC) No. 1013/2006, which sets outa set of criteria which all Member States (MS) should include in their three year plan. This plan identifies various means and actions to reduce illicit movements of waste. The introduction of the waste shipment inspection plan pursuant to Article 50 of the WSR obliges all MS to have a plan in place by 1 January 2017 and by the end of 2019 all MS should have had implemented all or most of the measures indicated in the plan in order to combat illegal movements of waste within their jurisdiction.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy approach in which a producer’s (businesses/producers who manufacture and/or import products and place these products on the national market) responsibility for a product be it packaging, electrical and electronic equipment, or batteries and accumulators is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product’s life cycle.

The Compliance and Enforcement Directorate of the Environment and Resources Authority promotes extended producer responsibility awareness, ensures compliance with the legal obligations and take enforcement actions as deemed necessary.

Extended Producer Responsibility Inspections

Sheltered WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) As a regulatory Competent Authority, the Compliance and Enforcement Directorate carries out inspections related to extended producer responsibility on potential and/or alleged non-registered producers of electrical and electronic equipment; batteries and accumulators; and packaging and packaging waste.

Identified non-registered producers are investigated in order to ensure that the producers fulfil all of the obligations in accordance to the respective law either individually or else collectively by setting up or participating in any authorised Producer Responsibility Organisation (PROs).

Compliance and Enforcement action in accordance to the provisions of the Cap 549 of the laws of Malta, the Environment Protection Act, is taken on those producers who fail to comply with their legal obligations.

Authorised Producer Responsibility Organisations

The Directorate ensures that Authorised PROs of waste electrical and electronic equipment; waste batteries and accumulators; and packaging and packaging waste are operating in line with the legal obligations, permit conditions and are undertaking activities in line with good environmental practices at all times.

In line with legal obligations and the relevant permit conditions, the Producer Responsibility Organisations submit their annual and audit reports. Pursuant to SL 549.39 – Freedom of Access to Information on the Environment Regulations, respective PROs annual reports can be accessed from the annual report section.

The Directorate conduct the reviewing of PRO annual and audit reports and assess their performance in particular for collection and recycling targets.

Compliance and Enforcement related measures are taken as necessary against PROs at instances of breach of permit conditions and legal obligations as well as in the event of cases where the principal objectives of the permit are not attained.

Compliance and Enforcement officers of the Enforcement Directorate within the Environment & Resources Authority carry out day-to-day investigations related to the illegal disposal of waste. These inspections are carried out following reports submitted by the public as well as through monitoring programs.

To deal with illegal disposal of waste, ERA officers conduct site inspections as well as desktop research in order to evaluate the case and trace the persons responsible for the contravention or the owner of the site in question. Once this is established, the Authority issues relevant administrative fines and orders the site to be cleared and reinstated back to its original state.

In instances where the Authority’s order to the owner/contravener to clean the site is ignored, Stop and Compliance Orders are issued to all parties responsible for the land and the activity. Stop and Compliance Orders incur daily administrative fines and increase if prolonged should the specified order be disregarded. In the case, that the Stop and Compliance breaches be ignored the Authority takes the necessary steps to settle the case against the contravener through further legal action and/or direct action.

S.L. 549.40 – Abandonment, Dumping and Disposal of Waste in Streets and Public Places or Areas Regulations states that: No person shall throw down, drop, leave, or otherwise spill or deposit any litter in any public place, street, sea, or open space to which the public has access, unless such depositing and leaving is lawfully authorized. The same legislation provide the type of refuse for collection according to the Local Council schedule of refuse collection. Enforcement Officers on a regular basis are monitoring the streets or identified ‘hotspots’ around Malta and Gozo to fine any person who contravenes any of the provisions contained in these regulations and shall be liable to a fine (ammenda) of not less than one hundred and fifty euro (€150). The monitoring of disposal of waste according to schedule is also monitored by LESA, the Police and Local Council.
