The Malta Developers Association has called on the Auditor-General to examine the Mepa tariffs structure, arguing that the recent increase in tariffs for development permits was not based on the real cost of processing the applications.

The MDA said it firmly believed that applicants for development permits should be charged for the costs actually incurred in the processing of these applications.

It also needed to be ensured that the processing of permits was made in an efficient manner.

The auditor was urged to establish the real cost of processing development applications and to check that the process was efficient.
