Enhancing the uptake of electric vehicles in the private sector

(reference C2-I2 in the Maltese Recovery and Resilience Plan)

The objective of this investment is to provide incentives for a shift to electric mobility, reducing emissions, and alleviating traffic congestion on the Maltese Islands. The EUR 50.3 million investment provides for a scheme of 5 600 grants for the purchase of electric vehicles and pedelecs. It also includes incentives for scrappage. The calls for applications were launched in 2022 and renewed in 2023. At least 1000 grants are foreseen to be awarded by 30 June 2023 and a further 4600 grants by 31 December 2024.

Digitalisation of civil proceedings and criminal judicial acts

(reference C6-I1 in the Maltese Recovery and Resilience Plan)

Digitalisation is key to modernising Malta’s justice system and improving its efficiency. To pave the way for a EUR 10 million investment in the digitalisation of the justice system in Malta, legal acts have come into force making it possible for civil proceedings to be held through live video conferences (as of November 2020) and for criminal judicial acts to be filed electronically (as of February 2021). The digital investment will follow in the years to come, to be completed by mid-2026, and will be made up of 17 components providing a number of digital tools such as virtual sittings solutions, conference training rooms, IT equipment and software, as well as case management systems for the offices of the Attorney General and State Advocate, among others.
