AD ask MEPA auditor to investigate Dwejra film incident

Carmel Cacopardo, AD spokesman on Sustainable Development and Local Government, has written to the MEPA Audit Officer requesting that he investigates the whole matter.
 
“It is inconceivable how MEPA could have issued any kind of permit for activities at Dwejra in view of the strict rules imposed by the  EU Habitats Directive which has been transposed into Maltese legislation. In my opinion the Environment Protection Directorate of MEPA as the Competent Authority in terms of the Habitats Directive has permitted activities which it is duty bound to prevent from happening," Cacopardo said.
