Construction works: Recommendations by the Commissioner for Environment and Planning for simpler and effective control

In June last year, the Commissioner for Environment and Planning, Perit Alan Saliba, had made various recommendations to the authorities with the main aim of voicing the citizens’ concerns and restoring safety in the construction sector.

During the same month, new regulations on the avoidance of damage to third parties were published but however, the fatal building collapse that happened a few weeks ago prompted the Commissioner to refresh these recommendations and call for more drastic measures.

The recommendations were sent to the Prime Minister and to the Committee set-up by the Prime Minister tasked with the review of building rules and practices.
