Lead in leaded petrol ends up in the air that we breathe. Under EU law, leaded petrol must be phased out in favour of unleaded. On this issue, Malta initially requested a transition period until the end of 2007.

Malta subsequently decided to withdraw this request and bring forward its plans to phase out leaded petrol in Malta by the beginning of 2003.

Most cars in Malta still run on leaded petrol. But these will now be able to buy lead-replacement petrol directly at petrol stations.
