The Malta Developers Association has urged the government to set up a task force to tackle bureaucracy, saying it has become worse in certain instances.

"If a serious effort is made to lessen this bureaucracy and government entities become truly more efficient, economic progress in the country will be greater than that registered in the past two years," the association said. 

"The MDA is recommending that a task force be set up to take this issue seriously and introduce more efficient and less bureaucratic procedures in the various sectors in which bureaucracy has ended up being more of a burden that of benefit to the country."
