European Court of Justice rules Malta violates EU regulations for untreated sewage discharge.

The European Court of Justice has determined that Malta violates EU regulations by discharging untreated sewage, as its wastewater treatment plants lack sufficient capacity for secondary treatment. This ruling concludes a dispute dating back to 2015, initiated by the European Commission. Malta acknowledges the issue and is pursuing upgrades to its wastewater infrastructure while addressing agricultural waste concerns. The government aims to comply with EU standards and protect the environment.
