Malta is placing a strong emphasis on the protection of its maritime resources and environmental integrity, with auditing playing a key role in supporting ongoing environmental improvements, according to Minister for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness, Miriam Dalli.

The country is currently hosting the 23rd Assembly of the Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA) of INTOSAI, organised by the National Audit Office (NAO).

Speaking at the Assembly, Minister Dalli highlighted the importance of using “all the tools at our disposal as strategic instruments to bring about meaningful change.” She noted that transparent governance has been essential in paving the way for continuous advancements within Malta’s environmental sector.

Minister Dalli referenced a 2018 audit which led to significant structural reforms in the protection of more than 30% of Malta’s maritime area, including the establishment of Natura 2000 sites, enhanced scientific monitoring, and the launch of a €2 million conservation programme.

The minister also drew attention to the water sector, which recently benefited from an unprecedented €63.9 million investment aimed at developing more sustainable and transparent water systems. This funding has contributed to reduced water infiltration and increased production of clean energy.

Concluding her remarks, she thanked the NAO for its leadership and stressed that “true transparency means that auditing is not seen as merely documenting mistakes, but as a means of innovation that enables us to continue building a high-quality environmental sector.”
