3. Legal Notice 374 of 2020 – Amendment to Sanitary Regulations
Through the coming into force of Legal Notice 374 of 2020, the minimum clear internal height of parking levels is now 2.10m.
4. Legal Notice 375 of 2020 – Amendment to Regularisation Regulations
Regulation 7 regarding the expiry date and increase in fees for the Regularisation Regulations has been repealed with immediate effect through Legal Notice 375 of 2020. This means that the cut-off date has been removed, and the fees will not be increasing as previously established.
5. Notification re membership expiry
A number of periti have received automated messages from our website regarding membership expiry. We are looking into the matter with our IT support. Kindly note that membership ends on 31st December of each year. You can verify the status of your membership by logging into your profile on the website.
The automated email is meant to serve as a reminder to periti to plan for their renewal, as well as to inform them about the 20% discount for those who renew before 31st January. We are working on correcting the automated message and apologise for any inconvenience.
6. Premises for rent
The premises of the Malta Federation of Professional Associations (MFPA), of which the Kamra tal-Periti is a member, includes a shop which is currently vacant.
The area of the shop is circa 40 sqm. It comprises one large front room overlooking the main road, and a second room comprising toilet with shower. This shop is air conditioned. The premises can also be leased as an office/clinic but this can be discussed with the interested party/ parties. The rent for the first 2 years is €15/day. Rent will increase to €17/day for the following two years and to €20/day for the fifth year. Agreement will be for 5 years, with one year notice to end or continue the lease agreement.
