There are currently ten applications to Mepa regarding the construction of new fireworks factories or the extension of existing ones in both Malta and Gozo, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi told Ċensu Galea (PN) in reply to a parliamentary question.

The applications involve sites in Għarb and Munxar in Gozo and others at Birżebbuġa, Mosta, Mġarr, Żurrieq and Għaxaq, as well as three in the limits of Rabat, in Malta.

Dr Gonzi said such developments called for important considerations related to health, third-party safety and security of neighbouring property, as well as the environment and access to the site especially at a time of emergency.
