Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

The Strategy and Implementation Division (SID) within the Ministry for European Funds and Implementation of the Electoral Programme (MFI) has presented a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the modifications introduced under the ERDF CF JTF Programme as part of the Mid-term Review process. This requirement arises from Directive 2001/42/EC, transposed into Maltese law under S.L. 549.61. The Programme modifications arise from new EU strategic priorities introduced, through Regulation (EU) 2025/1914 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EU) 2021/1058 and (EU) 2021/1056 as regards specific measures to address strategic challenges in the context of the mid-term review.

 The SEA screening process, in line with Article 5 of S.L. 549.61, concluded that the programme modifications are not expected to result in significant environmental or health effects. In light of the screening results and consultation with the designated authorities, it has been formally concluded that the SCP does not require further environmental assessment under the SEA Regulations (S.L.435.64). This outcome confirms that the ERDF CF JTF Programme as amended, may proceed to implementation in accordance with the proposed timeline and objectives.

The SEA screening report for the ERDF CF JTF Programme modifications can be accessed from (fondi.eu/strategic-environmental-assessments/).
