Exemption for RCVs/Skip Loaders
30 October 2010
GRTU had earlier this month written to Hon Minister Tonio Fenech regarding the Exemptions for RCV's/ Skip Loaders. GRTU had remarked that it had now been waiting far too long for exemption to be actually put in place and that the delay from Government's side was in turn delaying the much needed reform and the creation of an association doubling the work of GRTU on the issue.
Delays from the Government end in revising this exemption had created hardship to many operators who bought vehicles, having to have these vehicles garaged. GRTU had also expressed its hope that once the exemption is issued no penalties are charged to owners for delay in registering their vehicles. GRTU clarified that these vehicles are with built-in weighing facilities and are much needed for the Waste Management Reform.
GRTU is now pleased to note that the exemption order was issued last week and a copy will shortly be forwarded to all those who are in the waste management sector. In addition the RCVs that were in Malta and not registered due to this delay will not be penalised.
GRTU would like to express its gratitude to Hon Minister Fenech, Mr Alfred Camilleri, Perm Sec at the Ministry for Finance as well as the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs.
