In a court case instituted by the European Commission against Malta with regards to the use of Halons on Maltese flagged vessels, the European Court of Justice has rule in Malta’s favour as the EU did not prove its case against Malta.

Infringement procedures were initiated in 2009 as the EU claimed that Malta failed to decommission fire protection systems and extinguishers which contained Halon. However, Malta has always been consistent with its interpretation of EU law.
