| Status of the NIS2 Implementation Act | On 6 September 2024, the Ministry for Home Affairs, Security and Employment published a draft Legal Notice for public consultation. The consultation closed on 7 October 2024, and the Legal Notice transposing the Directive was supposed to be published by 17 October 2024, and come into force on 18 October 2024. However, the Legal Notice has not been published, to date. |
| If available, foreseeable significant deviations of the National Implementation Act from the NIS2 Directive | The draft legal notice entitled “Measures for a High Common Law of Cybersecurity Across the European Union (Malta) Order, 2024“, mirrors closely the NIS2 Directive. Article 2(5)(b) of the Directive has not been implemented and therefore education institutions fall outside the scope of the Order. Article 2(5)(a), on the other hand, has been implemented and the Order applies to public administration entities at the local level. |
| Expected date of entry into force of the Implementation Act | This should have entered into force on 18 October 2024 as per the communication in the Public Consultation, but the Legal Notice has not been published yet. |
