Abstract

One of the signatory states of the European Charter of Local Self-Government is the Republic of Malta, where local self-government was introduced by the Local Councils Act of 30 June 1993. The Monitoring Committee's post-audit report argued that the Maltese government violates the Charter because the local self-government units are not fully financially independent. The Committee also called for giving local councils additional responsibilities, as well as the ability to raise money from local taxes and fees.
