Both Maghtab and Qortin will be closed by 2003. After that there will be one landfill in Gozo, only for inert waste, while the rest of the waste in Gozo will be transferred to Malta. In Malta there will be one landfill for inert waste and two other two engineered landfills, the locations of which is are still to be decided. One of the sites would be for domestic waste and the other for dangerous waste.

Malta will start separating hazardous from non-hazardous waste by the end of 2003. On this issue, Malta did not need to negotiate anything specific with the EU because its plan are already in place and have started to be implemented.
