We have recently learnt that the Malta Standards Authority (MSA) has found that the Malta Transport Authority (ADT) was being "too generous" by applying the least rigid emissions test on route busses (August 28).

In the same breath the MSA seems to have adopted a similar "generous" attitude regarding pre-1979 buses.

Why this half-baked measure? Are the MSA and the ADT suggesting that excessive toxic emissions from pre-1979 buses, are less harmful to our health? What does the parliamentary secretary responsible for public health has to say regarding this matter? Is this the better quality of life that we have been promised?

How can the authorities keep on being "too generous" with aberrant special interest groups at the expense of the public?
