The Maltese law on employee involvement in the European Company (SE) was adopted in October 2004. The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFS), which manages Malta’s Registry of Companies, has still not issued the regulations governing the Act that transposed the SE Directive.

According to the views expressed by officials of this Authority, the prospects of Maltese companies setting up an SE in Malta are very slim. Moreover they maintain that the law is too complicated. According to the lawyer working in the registry of companies of this Authority, to date there have only been a couple of queries about SE from lawyers.
