Cap. 279 Art. 4Exemption.

(1) Where the Minister is satisfied that a person pursues a charitable purpose in Malta and is desirous of promoting collections for that purpose, the Minister may by order direct that he shall be exempt from the requirement of a licence as respects all collections for that purpose in such localities as may be prescribed in the order, and whilst an order so made is in force as respects collections in any locality, the provisions of this Act shall have effect in relation to the person exempted, to any promoter of a collection in that locality for that purpose who acts under the authority of the person exempted, and to a person who so acts as a collector for the purposes of any such collection, as if a licence authorising the person exempted to promote a collection in that locality for that purpose had been in force.

(2) Any order made under this article may at any time be revoked or varied by a subsequent order made by the Minister.
