IT is notified for general information that the following Bill is published in the Supplement to this Gazette:

Bill No. 138 entitled the Authority for Transport in Malta (Amendment) Act, 2025.

4th July 2025

Notice in terms of Article 61(1)

In Terms of the proviso to article 61 (1) of the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act, the Commissioner for Tax and Customs hereby notifies the persons listed hereunder to call at the Capital Transfer Duty Department, 63, Triq Żekka, Valletta, to collect the notices made on such persons.

IN exercise of the powers conferred by article 18(1) of the Small Business Act (Cap. 512), the Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects has made the following order:

The Temporary Agency Workers (Amendment) Regulations, 2025 are hereby exempt from the application of article 3(2)(b) of the Small Business Act for legal certainty and the better implementation of the said regulations by all relevant stakeholders.

Explanatory Notes

​1. Introduction

2. Summary and Background

The Temporary Agency Workers Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the “principal regulations") transpose Directive 2008/104/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 November on temporary agency work. The amending regulations were drafted to address various anomalies hindering equal treatment of temporary agency workers compared to employees of user undertakings.

Due to continued evolution of the labour market—particularly the widespread use of outsourcing agencies—and the growing presence of Third Country Nationals (TCNs) in such employment relationships, it was deemed necessary to further clarify and strengthen the framework through the amending regulations.

The aim of the amending regulations is to clearly define the distinction between temporary work agencies and outsourcing agencies. They also establish a starting date, the 1st January 2025, from which the basic working and employment conditions of employees of outsourcing agencies shall be at least equivalent to those applicable if they were recruited directly by the user undertaking and the said regulations also ensure constitutional compliance for assignments within the public sector.

2.2 Importance of amending regulations

The amending regulations further reinforce protections against potential exploitation of temporary agency workers—especially among TCNs—by clarifying the definition of “outsourcing agency" and ensuring that equal treatment applies to all workers.

2.3 Internal Consultation

Consultations were held with the Parliamentary Secretariat for Social Dialogue, the People and Standards Directorate within the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance and the State Advocate.

3. Overview of the structure of the instrument

The amending regulations consist of three (3) regulations as follows:

Regulation 1: Citation

Regulation 2: Amends regulation 2 of the principal regulations

​Regulation 3: Amends regulation 13 of the principal regulations

4. Commentary

Regulation 2 amends the definition “outsourcing agency" to include situations where the agency assigns employees at its discretion. This ensures that such discretionary assignments fall within the protections of the principal regulations.

Regulation 3 is introducing new provisos to sub-regulation (1) of regulation 13 of the principal regulations. The first proviso is being introduced to establish a commencement date, the 1st January 2025, from which the basic working and employment conditions of employees of outsourcing agencies shall be at least equivalent to those applicable if they were recruited directly by the user undertaking.

The second new proviso is being introduced to clarify that when assignments occur within public service user undertakings, access to employment shall remain subject to article 110 of the Constitution, whilst preserving constitutional safeguards concerning public recruitment.

​5. Concluding sections

The regulations shall come into force upon their publication in the Government Gazette.
