#CE1126Background#FFFFFF - About this plate
- Malta's window is weekly rather than annual. The regime is an EMISSIONS measure: reg. 6C confines it to M1 vehicles at or above 200 g/km CO2 (NEDC) or 220 g/km (WLTP), and to motorcycles of 801cc and above. A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN ACT AND REGULATION, recorded not reconciled: Cap. 368 art. 8(4) states the window as including "Fridays as from 18.00 onwards", while reg. 6C says "Fridays" and separately prohibits parking "on Friday before 18:00hrs".
