Storia istituzionale/amministrativa
The Department of Trade and Industry was set up in August 1955 within the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to coordinate measures taken by the Government towards the industrial development of the Maltese Islands.
At the same time the new Department took over the functions and duties previously carried out by the Trade Development Office (under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce), covering the representation in Malta of the United Kingdom Board of Trade, and the Registration of Trade Marks, Patents and Designs. This function is now the responsibility of a separate Division within the Department, in the charge of the Comptroller of Industrial Property.
In December, 1955, the Director of Trade and Industry took over, in addition, the former activities of the Food and Commerce Control Officer.
