Original Consultation


1.        Background

Local Markets have traditionally formed part of Malta and Gozo’s commercial and social fabric. Notwithstanding the local markets valid contribution, there is no doubt that the sector and hawkers themselves have, over the years, faced a number of difficulties. 

This White paper introduces proposals to counter such difficulties and build a framework to enable the propagation and regulation of open markets in Malta and Gozo. After a thorough study of the local scenario, the Ministry for the Economy, Investment and Small Businesses is proposing changes, in the following main areas; issuing of licenses and allocation of stalls, supervision of the operations of local markets, complaints resolution and policy setting.
