ARXO-2026-0407 · Reported
AI Act, Maltese version: Article 71(3) refers to Article 49(4) twice instead of Article 49(3) and (4)
The other 23 versions refer to Article 49(3) and (4).
Consequence
The cross-reference in Maltese Article 71(3) omits Article 49(3), on deployers that are public authorities; the duty in Article 49(3) remains.
Proposed correction
Replace the first 49(4) with 49(3) in Maltese Article 71(3).

L-Att dwar l-Intelliġenza Artifiċjali, verżjoni Maltija: l-Artikolu 71(3) jirreferi darbtejn għall-Artikolu 49(4) minflok għall-Artikolu 49(3) u (4)
It-23 verżjoni l-oħra jirreferu għall-Artikolu 49(3) u (4).
Consequence
Ir-referenza fl-Artikolu 71(3) Malti tħalli barra l-Artikolu 49(3), dwar l-implimentaturi li huma awtoritajiet pubbliċi; l-obbligu fl-Artikolu 49(3) jibqa’.
Proposed correction
L-ewwel 49(4) jinbidel b'49(3) fl-Artikolu 71(3) tal-verżjoni Maltija.
